The uniqueness of this proposal lies in the resolute commitment on the part of those involved designers and authors of the project, Nestor Novell and Elisabeth Delios, that the cultural sectors and therefore culture could be relevant elements in the definition of a space. We firmly believe in this perspective and believe that, within the framework of the new globalised information society, cultural production and its distribution model are really key elements in defining levels of competitiveness and in the long-term sustainability of territorial spaces. If this is true for any space, it is even more true for the territory they call Central counties, since it is a space that until very recently constituted no administrative unit, but which internalised some speech of cultural homogeneity and even enjoyed a certain legend – otherwise unobjective – of “power” in cultural production within the framework of the Valencian Community. Historical reasons, certain unique cultural experiences since the recovery of democracy there in the mid-1970s, and also the will of some cultural agents had inspired this contrasting speech. With this intentionality, our analysis links culture and territory into three main nodes: 1) culture as an element of territorial cohesion, 2) the relationship between culture, economic growth and employment, and 3) culture as a defining factor in the quality of life of its citizens
