Abstract: This paper is exploratory research into the evolution of the theories and the practice of culture-led urban development. As cities and urban spaces have existed for centuries. Their purpose and functions constantly changing and evolving. With globalisation, numerous technological revolutions, and continuous innovations the demographical changes were often rapid to which swift adaptation was crucial. The ever changing and diversification of needs from the people inhabiting cities as well as global concerns led to new innovative approaches to urban development. One such approach is the idea of Creative Cities within which culture arose as a leading concern in the creation of urban development plans. This article will highlight some of the key areas and approaches on how culture can be utilised in urban development. The way in which creativity and culture is measured within the European Union. As well showcase the evolution of the culture led urban development approach of Dublin from the 1990s and finally examine the current urban development plans of Dublin and how they utilise culture in their plans.
