The way these nuclei may contribute to urban development through its development and promotion, was tentatively applied to the village of Alcochete. The methods to implement this study were chosen after an analysis of several urban theories that showed us how cities evolved and have related their memories and their cultural identity. It was found that to achieve the success of cultural cores are useful multidisciplinary approaches around the cultural perspective within the urban core and to develop the interest of local communities in order to promote their use and disclosure. As study case we chose Alcochete and tried to create a new perspective of public use which gives a new and dynamic centrality to the village. The opportunities it offers in a tourism context were analyzed, from the knowledge and practice of their habits, customs, traditions and local products. It was identified as well, the need to introduce practical elements that preserve, enhance and publicize the qualities of a cultural center that leverages the urban, social, economic and tourism through the use of culture.porPatrick Geddesidentitycultural dynamismurban developmenttourismAlcochetemaster thesis201845903
