The essay investigates the influence of culture on urban land, assessing the socioeconomic impact on cities or quarters involved in local regeneration processes. Two case studies are examined, the East Village neighbourhood of New York City and the city centre of Manchester, considering the data which reveal the socio-economic transformation through the urban benchmarking analysis.
