abstract: The research focuses on the use of cultural development projects in urban regeneration. Past research reveals that scientific and professional analysis of these projects is often in discordance with the objectives and scientific underpinnings underlying them. This research studies the case of the Zsolnay cultural quarter in Pécs, to increase the understanding of how cultural projects are organized and which factors are of influence. 
Findings reveal the importance of formulating clear objectives when using cultural tools for urban regeneration or economic reshaping of a city. In the case of the Zsolnay quarter, there was ambivalence concerning the goals of the project throughout the entire process. This has influenced the outcome of the project. 
The research took into account the specific policy objectives and outcomes, characteristics of the quarter and the urban context it’s embedded in. It demonstrates how the local political situation can influence the organisation of large urban projects.
