The Palmer Report on the Capitals of Culture from 1995-2004: European Cities and Capitals of Culture – City Reports – Part 2

Summary:

Part II comprises reports on each of the 21 ECOC and the 8 cities that hosted European cultural months in the period 1995-2004. The Introduction to Part I describes the terms of reference for the
study as a whole and the methodology that was used.

City reports were compiled on the basis of information and data that were received from respondents in each city, and are based on published documents, questionnaire responses and interviews. The intention has not been to give a comprehensive description of each ECOC. To do justice to the scope and scale of each city’s aims and objectives and their means of trying to achieve these would require considerably more time than the schedule for this study allowed. The city reports intend to offer only a brief overview of each city’s main aims and objectives, approaches to organisation and communications, programmes and projects, infrastructural developments, finances, and some of the main cultural, social, economic and tourism outcomes of the event. Those who are interested in more detail about each ECOC should consult the documents and reports that are listed in annex V in Part I.
