Abstract

Rīga, Latvia went through a failed rebranding process as the forerunner of its status as a European Capital of Culture (2014). The same thing happened in Aarhus, Denmark. Aarhus will be a European Capital of Culture (2017) and leading to this, it went through a failed rebranding process. Based on our analysis of the causes of the failed rebranding efforts, we shall venture into recommendations for rebranding of cities. http://www.iscap.ipp.pt/cei/ebooks.html
