slide7. Successful cultural quarters very often have quite deliberately set out to develop a network of communication venues, and in some cases these have been planted as strategic elements in the wider development of an area. 7 ¹ John Montgomery. Cultural Quarters as Mechanisms for Urban Regeneration. Part 1: Conceptualising Cultural Quarters, Planning Practice & Research, 18:4, (2003) 293-306, (294) Quote (footnote style):
Montgomery points out that many popular ‘cultural quarters very often have quite deliberately set out to develop a network of communication venues’.¹

Paraphrase (author-date style)
Frequently cultural quarters have not developed spontaneously but have been purposefully designed to encourage creative exchanges (Montgomery, 2013). Successful cultural quarters very often have quite deliberately set out to develop a network of communication venues, and in some cases these have been planted as strategic elements in the wider development of an area.

slide10. Paraphrasing - doing it right Cultural quarters cannot exist without cultural activity and of special significance is the presence of venues. Changing some words:
Cultural quarters cannot happen without cultural action and of special significance is the presence of venues.
Changing most words:
Cultural quarters will not happen without artistic action and of distinct importance is the existence of venues.
Changing words and structure:
Venues are of particular importance as without cultural or artistic activity there are no cultural quarters. Words and structure too similar Structure too similar Same meaning - different structure & words<br>
slide11. Move last idea/item to front
Use larger chunks of text
Break up or join sentences
Exchange words
e.g. venue – site or location
Change word category
e.g. exist (verb) - existence (noun) Paraphrasing – techniques Does it still say/mean the same?<br>
slide12. Cultural quarters cannot exist without cultural activity and of special significance is the presence of venues. These should be as varied as possible, preferably at the small and medium scale where the objective is to encourage a more active street life. As well as performance venues, there should also be rehearsal and practice spaces. A mixed economy in venues helps generate self-sustaining growth, so that as well as publicly provided theatres and galleries there should also be private galleries and performance venues. It is important that as many venues as possible should remain open in the evenings as well as during the day. Successful cultural quarters very often have quite deliberately set out to develop a network of communication venues, and in some cases these have been planted as strategic elements in the wider development of an area. In order to sustain a living culture, it is important for at least some cultural organisations to be producing houses (i.e. making new work) rather than having an over-reliance on touring products. The presence of producing companies in any cultural quarter adds weight and, often, extra quality. Summary (author-date style)
Montgomery (2103) highlights the importance of variety for a cultural quarter to succeed, and recommends that there should be performing and producing activity around the clock. 185 words 26 words<br>
slide13. Quoting – paraphrasing – summarising You should now have a better understanding of
When, why and how to quote, paraphrase or summarise Note:
Every time you use or reproduce the work of others
(e.g. their words, ideas, data, images, etc.)
you need to include an acknowledgement.<br>
