Det vigtigste udbytte af et kulturbyprojekt er i den sidste ende varige samfundsmæssige indflydelse, og derfor er det vigtigt at få det brede publikum med i begivenhederne, at deltage og få impulser.
The most important contribution the City of Culture project can make is, in the end, its permanent influence on society, and it is therefore necessary to try to get the community as a whole involved in events, to take part in them and get something out of them.
