The development of a new Culture and Education District (CED) within Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park (QEO Park) offers a unique opportunity to fully capture and understand the value and legacies of a major culture-led regeneration initiative, as they unfold. Building on the learning accumulated over the last four decades in cities around the world, and counting on a wealth of relevant UK-based case studies to benchmark against, we have the ideal conditions to set up an unprecedented study into the multiple effects of a large-scale urban intervention. This paper proposes four priority lines of enquiry (see Fig.1) as part of a scoping study that will bring together existing knowledge and data in order to set the foundations towards a larger scale research programme. This scoping study will make recommendations and propose lines of enquiry that should form part of a longitudinal study (ideally, five to ten years on) into the medium to long term impact of creative clustering. As argued extensively by Garcia (2004, 2010, 2016) understanding the multiple impacts of regeneration requires a long term view: cities like Glasgow post 1990, Barcelona post 1992 or Liverpool post 2008 offer clear examples of how some of the most remarkable (and sustainable) benefits of culture-led regeneration occur five to ten years on and come in a diversity of forms. The 'successes' we now associate with these cities could not have been appropriately captured via short term 'one year-on' evaluation exercises. Further, the reasons for these 'successes' and their sustainability have never been fully explained. This is largely due to the fact that we lack information about each of these cities' points of departure. This is study is the first of its kind to document the impact and legacies of creative clustering from the outset, thus bringing a unique opportunity to capture impacts 'in the making'. This proposal assumes CED stakeholders are proceeding with a baseline study to document their activities and populate key benchmark indicators. The value of the study is to provide additional lines of enquiry to capture the more complex dimensions of impact and document the development of medium to long term legacies as they happen. It is timely for the AHRC to lead the way funding such work, given the growing acceptance that the arts and humanities provide much needed complementary tools to capture - and explain - the full range of benefits and challenges surrounding accelerated urban change. As such, this proposal combines established social science methodologies with an arts and humanities methodological lens. Following on the model developed by Dr Beatriz Garcia within Impacts 08 (European Capital of Culture Research Programme, 2010) and the London 2012 Cultural Olympiad evaluation (2013), the four proposed areas of enquiry and associated methodologies do interrelate. The chosen research leads will thus coordinate methodologies, data gathering and analysis of findings to ensure a holistic approach to final reporting. The final report will draw together all findings, identify synergies and produce a set of joint recommendations to inform AHRC as well as, potentially, other funders' priorities.

在伊丽莎白女王奥林匹克公园（QEO公园）内开发一个新的文化和教育区（CED）提供了一个独特的机会，可以充分捕捉和理解一个以文化为主导的重大复兴计划的价值和遗产。基于过去四十年来在世界各地城市积累的经验，并依靠大量相关的英国案例研究来进行基准测试，我们拥有理想的条件来建立一个前所未有的研究，以了解大规模城市干预的多重影响。 本文提出了四个优先调查领域（见图1），作为范围界定研究的一部分，该研究将汇集现有知识和数据，为更大规模的研究计划奠定基础。这项范围研究将提出建议，并提出调查路线，这些调查路线应成为纵向研究（理想情况下，五到十年）的一部分，以了解创意集群的中长期影响。正如Garcia（2004，2010，2016）广泛认为的那样，理解再生的多重影响需要长期的眼光：像格拉斯哥这样的城市1990年后，巴塞罗那1992年后或利物浦2008年后提供了明确的例子，说明文化主导的再生的一些最显着（和可持续）的好处是如何在五到十年内发生的，并以多种形式出现的。我们现在与这些城市联系在一起的“成功”不可能通过短期的“一年”评估活动得到适当的捕捉。此外，这些“成功”的原因及其可持续性从未得到充分解释。这在很大程度上是因为我们缺乏关于这些城市出发点的信息。这项研究是第一次从一开始就记录创意集群的影响和遗产，从而为捕捉“正在形成”的影响带来了独特的机会。本提案假设CED利益攸关方正在进行基线研究，以记录其活动并填充关键基准指标。这项研究的价值在于提供了更多的调查线索，以捕捉影响的更复杂层面，并记录中长期遗产的发展情况。鉴于越来越多的人认为艺术和人文学科提供了急需的补充工具，可以捕捉--并解释--围绕加速城市变化的各种好处和挑战，因此，澳大利亚人权委员会带头资助这些工作是及时的。因此，这一建议结合了既定的社会科学方法与艺术和人文方法的透镜。根据Beatriz Garcia博士在影响08（欧洲文化研究计划，2010年）和伦敦2012年文化奥林匹克评估（2013年）中开发的模型，四个拟议的调查领域和相关方法确实相互关联。因此，选定的研究牵头人将协调方法、数据收集和调查结果分析，以确保对最后报告采取综合办法。最后报告将汇集所有调查结果，确定协同作用，并提出一套联合建议，为澳大利亚人权委员会以及其他资助者的优先事项提供信息。
