The suggestions are as follows.

Secondly, participation all over the citizen in the city is important. thirdly, the meaning of cultural investment lies in the consideration as to how to create regional culture and how to accelerate its sustainable production in order to consume it in the region and to export it to the outer world. Fourthly, cultural investment includes human beings and their community together, and does not cause human beings risk behind the scene in case of environmental change. Fifthly, The impact of cultural investment should be evaluated and assessed. Sixthly, the organizational consistency is needed in the pursuit of the project of City of Culture.
