    Creative cities and urban regeneration : a research mapping
    (IKAM, 2024) Zbuchea, Alexandra; Romanelli, Mauro; Pînzaru, Florina
    Cities of tomorrow will invest knowledge sources in driving creative-led and culture-driven urban regeneration that contribute to revitalizing urban spaces and driving sustainable and inclusive urban growth, leading to community development and engagement. Urban regeneration processes enable creative cities to be socially inclusive communities that rediscover the importance of collaborative innovation as a framework that help shape wealthy urban spaces into engines of social innovation. It is relevant to map the present state of knowledge and practices to better prepare for future creative cities. The present paper investigates the relationships between creative cities and urban regeneration, as presented by the main academic outlets. The current bibliometric analysis identified five main research dimensions: macro-level phenomena, urban regeneration based on culture and communities, cultural policies, sustainability, and policies leading to the sustainable development of creative cities.

    Through the public’s lens: are museums active members of society? an investigation during the COVID-19 pandemic
    (Springer, 2021-04-01) Zbuchea, Alexandra; Romanelli, Mauro; Bîră, Monica
    Traditionally, museums have cultural and educational roles. Increasingly, however, museums are also assuming a social role in engaging with visitors and communities and strengthening social involvement coherently given the changing expectations of the public. Museums have become participatory organisations that contribute to the well-being of society. Considering the global health challenge of the COVID-19 pandemic, this chapter investigates the way museums have responded to support their communities, as well as the public’s perception of museums’ civic profile. An online survey was applied in Italy, Romania, and the Republic of Moldova to identify the dimensions of the activity of museums regarding how the support offered by museums is visible and appreciated. The study shows that museums reacted to the COVID-19 pandemic crisis, developing online and digital sources to adapt and deliver their offers, to have a voice within society. Generally speaking, it seems that the public does not pay much attention to museums concerned in contemporary societal debates. Understanding the public image of museums helps museums redesign their organisation and activities to meet the expectations of contemporary audiences coherently, given the recent societal developments. This investigation is among the first to highlight the way museums have assumed an activist role, providing support to the wider public, by reacting to the COVID-19 pandemic.
