Abstract
During the 25 year old history of the prestigious title European Capital of Culture it will be added by a new component in the year 2010, as three cities get the opportunity to introduce their values. Essen, Pécs and Istanbul are significant pillars of a cultural axis running throughout Europe, whose development took place in distinct times along different historical, geographical conditions. Different nationalities are present as mediators and links between them who influenced decisively the development of these cities and their change of economic importance. Our fundamental aim is to emphasise the similarities and list all significant details related to the ECC priorities as the possibility of sustainability and liveability. Introducing the similarities and differences in financing, the implementation and variation of projects, emphasizing cooperation experienced in communication and certain program sets is a fundamental element of our present research. At the same time, common goals, various methods - that originate in cultural differences - by all means can teach us the lesson.
