	Universal Forum of Cultures - Definition, explanation
		The 2004 Universal Forum of Cultures (henceforth "Forum") was organized by Barcelona's local council, the regional government (the Generalitat de Catalunya), the Spanish National Government and UNESCO.
		The Forum was also politically useful, given the Mayor's earlier failure to deliver on a 1996 promise to secure an international exposition for the city (a fiasco widely reported in the local press at the time).
		The Forum was thus partly conceived as a way of restoring Maragall's credibility with electors and increasing his chances of successfully challenging Jordi Pujol (Convergència i Unió party), then the incumbent President of Catalonia, in future elections.

		Communication across boundaries and cultures is paramount, and the idea of communication is being expanded beyond the realm of the written and spoken word.
		The Forum's philosophy is that playing, laughing, dancing and singing together may perhaps ally people of different cultures and languages more strongly than conversations or written documents.

		The Forum is a festive journey designed to bring the three main themes to life: cultural diversity, sustainable development and conditions for peace.
		The Forum 2004 area is relatively close to the Olympic village constructed for the 1992 Games and as a result of industrial decline, economic crisis and consequent severe urban problems, has been the target of extensive regeneration plans.
		The name of the event was recently changed from the Universal Forum of Cultures 2004 to Forum Barcelona; a move which has been linked to a shift in priorities for the event and has been much debated among the event's critics (see for example FOTUT 2004).

		Following a brief assessment of the evolution of European cultural policy in recent decades, the paper studies the origins and development of the European City/Capital of Culture programme and explores the experience of cities considered to have succeeded in re-imaging and regenerating themselves through cultural activity and special events.
		Culture has been used as a tool for urban regeneration, an approach refined in the US over the 1970s and early 1980s (see Porter, 1980) and consequently developed in Europe in cities such as Glasgow - European City of Culture in 1990 - and Bilbao - opening of the Guggenheim Museum in 1997.
		Without a clear guideline to address the effects of the Forum in terms of land use and its implications for social justice, it is unlikely that the event provides the fair distribution of cultural benefits it promises at this stage.

		The origin of human heterogeneity kept installed, by the hand of that culture notion -as a changing dynamic decisive entity but also decided by history- into this human being capacity not for just living in a society, but changing incessantly the society they were living at.
		Far of impugn the irrevocability of human differences, culture has become a mere succedaneum of the disparaged race idea and serves, much more keenly, for the same purposes, which are not others that the naturalization of social asymmetries and the ideological justification of social exclusion.
		Cultural diversity is shown again and again as something that makes impossible for a State being "of rights" as it's supposed, as if human heterogeneity were an insolvable obstacle to accomplish the basic democratic principles of equality and freedom.

		The Forum claims this will not be the case but less than a month before the start of the event, there is no sign of these themes on the schedule.
		Part of the Forumâs self-confessed aim is to âre-developâ the old industrial area of Besos as part of the councilâs dreams of turning the North coast area into a high-tech âcity of knowledgeâ - a taste of which already exists in the sterile (and partly vacant due to exhorbitant rents) Manhattan-esque Diagonal Mar area.
		The Forumâs defence is that a third of the â¬3000 million is public money which will go towards public projects such as a water purifier for the BesÃ³s river and the installations left behind by the Forum will be accessible to the public.

		In the year 2004, the subsidies that the European Community grants to its less-developed member countries in the Mediterranean basin will end, as the EC shifts its focus toward financing the development of its new members in Eastern Europe.
		Like the 1992 Olympics, this Forum is also a pretext for a massive "urban renewal" project of proportions never-before seen: nothing less than the "requalification" of the entire north coast of Barcelona, a zone too potentially valuable to continue housing the "same old" neighbors of the Poble Nou district.
		After the Forum, when the tourists and the artists return home again, we will be left with a city transformed, a city that is ready to enter into a new phase in its history: a new dominion will have been declared, over public space and over the imaginations of its inhabitants.
