Libraries in Urban DevelopmentPoint of departure
Urban development•Today’s cities are in a situation of growing global competition and they are to a higher and higher degree planned and designed to attract tourists, inhabitants and businesses.
•A “cultural turn” is happening in the cities where there is a growing trend of re-branding and refurbishing cities through culture in an attempt to revitalize economies.
•As a consequence new strategies for culture-led regeneration are introduced into urban planning.

Libraries in Urban DevelopmentPoint of departure
Library development• The existence of the physical library have been contested by many
Internet-founded offers but at the same time we are witnessing a renaissance for the physical library as we see new head-line grabbing libraries being built all over the world.
• Among the code words for libraries today are flexibility in space and arrangements, development from collection towards interactive communication of knowledge and culture and a new role as a living room of the local community.
• Today we see a significant focus on the relationship between the public library and the local community which is reflected through partnerships, user-involvement, userdriven innovation, participation in local projects etc.
