Identity building and cultural projects in Butetown, Cardiff

Abstract

A coalition of property interests and politicians at local and central governmental levels promoted the redevelopment of Cardiff Bay “as a project that was good for the future of Cardiff”. The welfare of the residents of the multi‐ethnic community Butetown played little or no part in the deliberations, and was not to feature in the mission statement of the Cardiff Bay Development Corporation. Instead Butetown became the target of negative narratives, which could only be countered by local initiatives built on the mobilization of the historical identity of the multi‐ethnic community that Butetown has always been. The Butetown History and Art Centre with its various activities forms the core of these culturebased bottom‐up redevelopment dynamics.
