The article addresses the way big events are used as tools for cultural and urban regeneration, elaborating on two recent Portuguese experiences: Lisbon’s Expo’98 and Porto 2001 - European City of Culture.
The instrumental virtues and limits of these events are both discussed and considered in relation to their specific nature and the conditions underlying their organisation. Three questions are highlighted: first, the tension between the events’ typified layout and the local prospects; second, the sustainability of induced cultural dynamics; third, the investment in city image marketing and its consequences on cultural and urban policies.
