Culture is ascribed a transformatory role in cities' futures (Garcia, 2017); Boland et al (2019) term this 'culturephilia'. In particular, city leaders expend enormous effort competing to host events such as European Capital of Culture and UK City of Culture. A key component of the literature analyses the legacy of cultural events (Hudec et al, 2019; Bernardino et al, 2018; Falk & Hagsten, 2017; Németh, 2016; Belfiore, 2015; Lähdesmäki, 2014). In Derry/Londonderry (D/L) culture is mobilised to confront entrenched socio-economic problems. Hosting the inaugural UK City of Culture (CoC) was massive. Alongside the ubiquitous economic ambitions, for a divided society 'peace and reconciliation' were prioritised. Post-2013, cultural events continue to be supported. However, the Council acknowledges it lacks rigorous research on long-term legacy issues, feeding criticism from certain stakeholders on the wisdom of cultural funding amidst constrained budgets. This PhD, in collaboration with the Council, will fill the evidential void by providing in-depth analysis of the long-term legacy of cultural events, building upon previous work by Boland (2017, 2018a, b, 2019). The completion date is 2023, a decade after CoC, so the research will facilitate timely and invaluable internal debate within the Council on the merits of cultural funding. The research questions are:1. What are the long-term legacy impacts of cultural events in D/L?2. Do the economic benefits of cultural events reach disadvantaged communities?3. Can cultural planning help depoliticise and neutralise contested cityspaces?4. To what extent do cultural events improve community relations and tolerance of difference?5. Is the Council's spending on cultural events justifiable and worthwhile?

文化被认为在城市的未来中具有变革性的作用（Garcia，2017）；Boland 等人（2019）将这种现象称为“文化热爱”，尤其是城市领导人花费巨大精力竞相举办欧洲文化之都和英国城市之类的活动。文化。文献的一个关键组成部分分析了文化事件的遗产（Hudec 等人，2019 年；Bernardino 等人，2018 年；Falk 和 Hagsten，2017 年； Németh，2016；Belfiore，2015；Lähdesmäki，2014）。在德里/伦敦，文化被动员起来应对根深蒂固的社会经济问题。 2013年后，文化活动继续成为优先考虑的目标。然而，该委员会承认，它缺乏对长期遗留问题的严格研究，这引起了某些利益相关者对在预算有限的情况下进行文化资助的批评，该博士将与该委员会合作，通过提供证据来填补这一空白。 - 基于 Boland 之前的工作（2017、2018a、b、2019），对文化事件的长期遗产进行深入分析。完成日期为 2023 年，即 CoC 十年后，因此该研究将促进理事会内部就文化资助的优点进行及时且宝贵的内部辩论。研究问题是：1. 文化活动对弱势群体有何长期影响？ 3. 文化规划能否帮助消除有争议的城市空间？4. 文化活动在多大程度上改善社区关系和对差异的容忍？5. 委员会在文化活动上的支出是否合理且值得？
