%X Since mid 70’s culture-led development and participatory planning have been both used and studied in Western countries for creating more democratic, equal, and empowering societies (Guinard & Margier, 2018). For Timișoara, becoming the European Capital of Culture for 2023 can represent a motivation for creating a better environment for artists to be part of the planning process of the city and to enhance the culture-led development. This paper explores some of the artists' needs and how do they relate with the concepts of participatory planning and culture-led development.  Based on document analysis and in-depth interviews, the results show that the artists' needs are in coherence with participatory planning and culture-led development goals of Timișoara municipality strategies. In conclusion, this paper proposes more research to be done about artists' needs in different contexts.
