This study establishes a relationship between territorial inequality, local policy space, municipalization, public policies on culture, and municipal management for the construction of a concept of cultural citizenship. The objective is to construct an explanation on the basis of empirical studies of the process of municipalization and institutionalization of culture in the Territories of Identity Reconcavo Baiano and Metropolitan Region of Salvador in the State of Bahia, for the construction of a cultural citizenship. This was an exploratory research project, methodologically based on direct and indirect documentation. In order to include individuals other than the social agents involved in the process, field work was done in the geographic area of the study in order to carry out semi-structured interviews with the cultural managers.

Keywords : cultural citizenship; policy space; town; municipalization; municipal cultural system.
