Culture and development are a couple that keep a dynamic, dialectic and valuable relationship even though at times there is tension. In spite of this, their importance is often underestimated by those responsible for cultural administration.

As a result of this realization, Bruno Maccari and Pablo Montiel, renowned experts on this subject, gathered a series of reflections and experiences aiming at illustrating from various viewpoints how culture can take part in human, social, economic, and even institutional or organizational development processes. They do so with a pragmatic and contextual approach that shows how initiatives related to culture and development mark out a new working filed for social transformation processes. The authors bring to the front a series of practices carried out by cultural and urban organizations in cities that have different realities, like Bogota, Buenos Aires, México DF, Lima, Rio de Janeiro and Santiago de Chile.

Cultural management for Development will surely become a key work on this subject. It opens up a notable space for reflection for future enterprises that are interested in culture as a necessary condition that enables to go forward towards a solid, ethic, diverse, sustainable and productive development.
