Abstract: The aim of this paper is to show the relevance of culture for the achievement of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and to translate this value into a set of indicators that can be monitored at the local level. To this end, 40 indicators were extracted from the most relevant sources, categorized into four key areas: economic contributions, access to cultural resources, wellbeing, and cultural education. Balancing traditional metrics with innovative approaches to capture both tangible and intangible bene fits of culture, they illustrate how culture influences local development, from economic impact to social cohesion and environmental stewardship. In order to provide policymakers with a practical implementation tool to test the relationship between culture and development, a final framework of ten 'strong', effective and measurable indicators was then identified.
