The Guide for the Evaluation of Local Cultural Policies (GEPCL), elaborated ten years ago jointly by the Spanish Federation of Municipalities and Provinces (FEMP) and the Ministry of Culture, presented a broad theoretical reflection on the most relevant and pressing issues for local governments, in which cultural policies had a great capacity for progress and transformation. The system of indicators proposed in the 2009 document addresses cross-cutting factors such as diversity, participation and the role of memory and innovation in the construction of local identity. In total, 316 indicators made it possible to evaluate the cultural policy developed and to plan with breadth and ambition the cultural policies of the future. The document was a practical concretisation of the philosophy put forward by the Agenda 21 for culture, which at the time was the document that inspired the conceptual framework of local cultural planning. Interest in urban indicators related to culture and creativity is growing. As Valentina Montalto et al. (2019) point out, the last two decades have seen a massive increase in interest in culture as one of the main resources for urban transformation. This is evidenced by numerous academic research, as well as ongoing reports and studies by international organisations such as the United Nations, the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) and the European Commission.
