To this end, a local territorial approach combining quantitative and qualitative methods has been undertaken and applied to the Spanish cities of Merida and Cuenca. The results from this case study show that many parameters observed in the international bibliography that form part of the idiosyncrasy of medium and small cities (''closeness'', possibility of face-to-face contact, quality of life, low production costs) are considered by selected interviewees as essential to understanding the operation of their organizations and the urban cultural economic cluster as a whole. In general, these parameters appear in the international bibliography as contributing to the development of the cultural economy, but their importance in medium and small cities had been tested only rarely. info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/MINECO/CSO2017-83603-C2-1-R info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/MINECO/CSO2017-83603-C2-2-R info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess by-nc http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/3.0/es/ 1.0 2022 GEOGRAPHY 75 / 86 = 0.872 2022 Q4 T3 0.364 2022 Earth-Surface Processes 2022 Q2 Urban Studies 2022 Q2 Geography, Planning and Development 2022 Q2 Environmental Science (miscellaneous) 2022 Q3 2.3 2022 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Escalona-Orcao, Ana, I Universidad de Zaragoza (orcid)0000-0002-8275-6201 Hidalgo-Giralt, Carmen Vazquez-Varela, Carmen Cea-D''Ancona, Francisca 3006 435 Universidad de Zaragoza Dpto.
