Instrumentalna wartość kultury w polityce kulturalnej miast
The Instrumental Value of Culture in Cultural Policies of Cities

Summary/Abstract: The article aims to answer the question what factors determine the possibility of instrumental use of culture for urban development. The article refers to the empirical research (conducted in 41 cities) which is based on the theory of cultural value by John Holden. According to its theoretical assumptions, the cultural value, generated by entities operating in the cultural sector and defined from the perspective of different stakeholders, is the result of three different values: institutional, instrumental and intrinsic. The research shows that the most important areas affecting the possibility of using culture for urban development are: tangible and intangible resources, cultural policy and creative capital. The most worrying problem for the possible use of culture lies in the lack of dialogue and consensus in cultural policy. Keywords: instrumental value of culture, cultural policy, theory of cultural value, development of cities, public management.
