In several international debates and in policy-making practices, we can frequently find the case for the construction of museums, theaters, galleries and more generally for the implementation of cultural policies, assumed to induce positive effects on urban regeneration and appreciation. The paper critically observes these urban processes, highlighting paradoxical and unintended effects of public-private partnerships for building cultural facilities. Furthermore, a strategic perspective is outlined for the present local and national policies in Italy.
