Deindustrialization weighs heavily on regions which owe their prosperity and sometimes their entire upturn to the presence of industry. It has only been in the last decades, that some regions started playing the industrial tourism card, engaging in an approach that values and reinterprets their industrial heritage and hence helps to renew their image.
The European Capital of Culture program has proven to be an excellent tool for such a renewal. Ever since the inauguration of the program in 1985, the guidelines have become more rigorous and nowadays applicant cities have to perform a true balancing act between often conflicting expectancies. 
This master thesis seeks to study the self-presentation of two former European Capitals of Culture, rich in their industrial past, Essen(Ruhr)(2010) and Mons (2015). At the core of this study are the following questions: How did they present themselves during the year in which they held the title? What notions of Europe figure in the discourse of their program? And more importantly: what place and form do they give to their industrial heritage? La désindustrialisation pèse sur les régions où la présence industrielle avait auparavant amené la prospérité. Ce n’est qu’en ces dernières décennies qu’on voit des régions investir dans le tourisme industriel. Adoptant une approche de valorisation et réinterprétation du patrimoine industriel cette formule contribue souvent au renouveau de leur image. 
Le programme des Capitales Européennes de la Culture, instauré en 1985, s’est avéré être un outil par excellence pour un tel renouveau. Depuis le lancement du programme les consignes ont été renforcées et les candidats doivent faire preuve d’un véritable funambulisme entre divers aspects parfois contradictoires. 
Ce mémoire cherche à étudier l’auto-présentation de deux villes détentrices du titre qui ont toutes les deux été marquées d’une riche histoire industrielle, Essen(Ruhr)(2010) et Mons (2015). Au cœur de l’étude sont des questions telles que : Comment se présentaient-elles lors de l’année de programmation? Quelles images de l’Europe se dégagent à travers leur discours du programme ? Et surtout : quelle place et forme donnent-elles à leur patrimoine industriel ? Die Deindustrialisierung lastet schwer auf Regionen, welche ihren Aufschwung und Reichtum der Industriepräsenz verdanken. Erst in den letzten Jahrzehnten haben einige begonnen in Industrietourismus zu investieren, ein Ansatz der das Erbe der Industriekultur schätzt, neu interpretiert und somit zu einem Imagewandel beiträgt.
Das Programm der Europäischen Kulturhauptstädte hat sich als erstklassiges Instrument für derartigen Wandel bewiesen. Seit seiner Einführung 1985 sind seine Richtlinien stark konkretisiert worden, wodurch heutige Bewerberstädte einen wahrhaften Balanceakt zwischen teils widersprüchlichen Anforderungen meistern müssen. 
Diese Masterarbeit untersucht die Selbstdarstellung zweier ehemaliger Titelträger mit reicher industrieller Vergangenheit, Essen(Ruhr)(2010) und Mons (2015). Im Mittelpunkt der Untersuchungen stehen folgende Fragen: Wie stellten sich die Städte in ihrem Titeljahr dar? Welche Ideen von Europa unterliegen dem Programmdiskurs? Und vor allem: Welche Rolle und Form geben sie ihrem industriellen Kulturerbe?

Kulturtourismus wird im ländlichen Raum meist als Triebfeder sozioökonomischer Aufwertung betrachtet. Welche Potenziale setzt aber Kulturtourismus in einer touristisch gesättigten Alpindestination abseits von Folkloreangeboten frei? Welche Rolle spielen hierbei die Beziehungen zwischen Kultur- und Tourismusanbietern sowie die Kultur- und Tourismuspolitik? Für die Region Tirol reflektiert der Band ergänzenden Kulturtourismus als Impulsgeber für kulturelle Nachhaltigkeit. Neben Diskursanalysen und empirischer Erforschung erläutert ein exklusiver Beitrag von Ulrich Fuchs (u.a. Mitglied des EU-Panels zur Auswahl, Begleitung und Evaluierung künftiger Kulturhauptstädte Europas) gesellschaftspolitische Potenziale und Visionen kultureller Nachhaltigkeit am Beispiel der Europäischen Kulturhauptstadt. »m Grunde stehen sich zwei Denkweisen diametral entgegen: Die Kulturschaffenden agieren auf Basis eines Bildungsauftrags. Entscheidungsträger orientieren sich auf die Bedienung von Gästeinteressen. Dieses Spannungsverhältnis detailreich und fundiert nachzuzeichnen, gelingt der Studie exzellent.« Siegfried Kristöfl, www.kulturmanagement.net, 10.07.2019 »Die Publikation bietet Kulturakteuren in der Praxis wertvolle Argumente und Werkzeuge, das eigene Anliegen im Handlungsfeld Tourismus auf validen Grundlagen vertreten zu können und weiterzugestalten.« Katja Drews, Kulturpolitische Mitteilungen, 158/3 (2017) O-Ton: » Kultur ist kein Teil vom Image« - Verena Teissl im Interview bei der Tiroler Tageszeitung am 28.08.2017.

This Special Issue on ‘Sustainability and Visitor Management in Tourist Historic Cities’ explores new trends and methods that contribute to sustainable practices for tourism planning and management in historic cities. Thanks to the differentiated approaches adopted by the authors, the Special Issue reflects on the environmental, physical, cultural, and social effects that tourism activity provokes in tourist historic cities. Considering the present debate on tourism in historic cities, there is a special focus on resident perceptions and the social problems and conflicts associated with various tourist activities that have emerged in recent years. New methodologies and sources to measure tourism impacts are also addressed in this book, especially the use of big data technology, another relevant topic. Papers include one literature review and six case studies in the historic cities of Seville and Toledo (Spain), Venice and Matera (Italy), and Porto (Portugal) and Popayán (Colombia). This Special Issue provides practical tools and policy recommendations to measure tourism impacts and promote sustainable management in tourist historic cities.

From the 1970s onwards, many towns and cities have experienced deindustrialization processes, while seeing a gradual growth of tertiarization and diversification of services, including cultural ones. With the different, both positive and negative, effects introduced by new cultural interpretations of cities (e.g., culture in public spaces, cultural and creative industries, culture as marketing tools, cultural commodification, etc.), the concept of culture has become increasingly associated with urban image and identity. In finding solutions within regeneration processes, policies often rely on tools from the cultural and creative fields. Additionally, built material and immaterial heritage can have significant roles: e.g., by converting heritage sites and buildings through cultural projects or new functions, or capitalizing on specific traditions and place memory for local identity and place attachment. This SI focuses on cultural approaches in connection with urban development and gather contributions from various research fields. It addresses researchers and academics from social sciences who are interested in topics such as: cultural activities and their role in urban development; cities (re)constructing their identity; culture as a relevant component of current spatial planning policies; urban strategies, attracting creative people; urban image, heritage and culture; culture, local memory and local identities; heritage and industrial culture; subcultures within cities and processes of urban change.
