Cultural planning emerged in the 1970s and 1980s and became the core part of urban cultural policies across the Global North. Influenced by the paradigm shift in social science studies and the Informality theory, this research aims to seek theoretical and empirical implications for cultural planning in the Global North from a case study in the Global South/non-Western context.The first step toward this purpose is to understand cultural planning in the Global North. I critically engaged the cultural planning discourse and unpacked the issues underlying the discourse. Moreover, I collected and reviewed 70 cultural plans (focusing on the plans completed over the past two decades) in the Global North. My review on cultural plans reveals the connection between the cultural planning professional practice and academic discourse, the current trend and focus of cultural planning, and issues in the process of planning within the context of the Global North.I conducted a detailed case study of urban sculpture planning (a narrower definition of public art) in Shanghai, China, by examining issues in the process of Shanghai's urban sculpture planning and evaluating the quality of Shanghai's urban sculpture plans. I interviewed over 70 planning officers, real estate corporations, artists, residential district managers, and pedestrians. A questionnaire survey was completed by 244 respondents. Additional research methods include participatory observation, documentary analysis, site reconnaissance, and site renaissance.Outputs of my empirical work include six independent papers on the topic of urban sculpture planning in Shanghai. Part 3 provides background studies of urban sculpture planning in Shanghai within the context of China's urban development. I theorize the urban sculpture planning authority as the "cultural elite state" that features a coalition of cultural elites, e.g., government officers, real estate developers, artists, media, and cultural intermediaries, who share similar individual dispositions or artistic preferences. The fact that cultural capital bridges actors breaks the bureaucratic hierarchies and sectors, contributing to a vibrant urban art landscape within the context of entrepreneurial-style authoritarian governance. The main text of this dissertation comprises two parts: Part 4 examines issues in the process of urban sculpture planning; Part 5 innovatively proposes a conceptual framework and mechanism for the evaluation of the quality of public art plans.Finally, I addressed the original research purpose of seeking lessons for cultural planning in the Global North based on the findings engendered by my empirical work. The valuable lesson to cultural planning in the Global North rests on cultural capacity building, i.e., having people with cultural dispositions and artistic preferences in the planning sector and other private sectors is crucial to cultural development. Shanghai embraced this condition in the 2000s but lacked a conducive institutional environment that helped sustain and support its cultural planning practices. The Shanghai case, therefore, provides scarce valuable lessons for the theory-building of cultural planning. The informality theory is valuable in explaining indigenously spontaneously emerged public art planning initiatives and the "cultural-elite led" model of decision-making, but it has limited application for explaining the cultural planning process in Chinese cities. In addition to this primary research purpose, this dissertation has produced substantial theoretical implications, connecting to continuing academic discourses in multiple fields, such as urban geography, Chinese urban studies, urban planning, and cultural policy and development.
