Abstract
An increasing number of cities around the world are establishing cultural districts in order to
boost the economy and to recognize the cultural values within the community. This research
project examines the goals and objectives; recent development; governmental involvement and
impact; and recognition from local community about cultural districts. Maryland’s Arts and
Entertainment Districts are chosen for case studies in order to analyze the establishment and
operation of United States cultural districts that involve state leadership and legislation. Through
interviews and content analysis, this research aims to draw implications and suggestions to the
cultural planning associated with the cultural infrastructure development in Hong Kong in the
future. The principles behind the recommendations are also applicable to develop cultural
districts in other cities.
