Abstract
This study explores the impacts of investing in and planning for the arts within urban environments. Specifically, it investigates how cultural development can contribute to increased social cohesion and economic revitalization in cities. By examining the mechanisms through which cultural cities are shaped, such as public policy, government, private funding, and grassroots advocacy, this research aims to comprehensively understand how artistic and cultural initiatives are integrated into broader urban planning strategies. Through an analysis and case study of Miami-Dade County this paper will examine how these strategies have led to immense change in the fabric of local communities. A key will be placed on the complex relationship between state-sponsored cultural growth and its effects on marginalized communities highlighting the neighborhoods of The Design District and Wynwood in Miami. While the arts can serve as a powerful tool for inclusion and empowerment, they can also become vehicles for displacement and gentrification if not implemented with equity in mind. This study, therefore, seeks to identify how such consequences can be anticipated and mitigated through inclusive planning practices, ensuring that the benefits of cultural investment are shared equitably among all residents.
