| Summary: | This article results from a knowledge transfer report commissioned by the Culture Area of the A Coruña City Council in Galicia (Spain), a city with an average population of 250,000 inhabitants. The report’s goal was to map all the cultural actions happening in the city. Due to their variety, dispersion, and multiplicity, the local government’s culture department required a comprehensive catalogue of these practices. The initial challenge was to collect and structure the information to create a visual atlas that would allow for the mapping of these activities, identifying potentialities, shortcomings, and weaknesses to establish future cultural action lines. As a result of investigative and fieldwork, it was decided to document the actions carried out by both public and private institutions, whether conducted by the City Council’s culture department, funded externally, or independent. This information was analysed to draw conclusions for planning the city’s cultural future. |
