Museums driving urban regeneration and community well-being

Abstract

Museums contribute to urban regeneration processes and develop communities, contributing to their wellbeing. Culture helps to support urban innovation, opening up to urban regeneration as a source of well-being for communities. Social innovation, as well as a dynamic vision for urban change management and sustainable development, might be enhancing factors. Museums contribute to urban redevelopment strategies and act as social agents of change and spaces of cultural innovation and experimentation to revitalize urban spaces, fostering solidarity, integration, and collaboration. Museums select a pathway for building community wellbeing, by social innovation, driving urban regeneration processes that benefit urban communities and environments.
