Abstract

Culture is the mark we leave on history, and cultural infrastructure supports the quality of life of people in a community. This paper describes the interaction between sustainable development (an economic component, GDP per capita, and a social component, poverty) and cultural infrastructure in the cases of France and Romania, through a comparative analysis and how multidisciplinary education can help strengthen this link. To achieve this goal, the authors used linear regression combined with bibliometric analyses (a hybrid model), which gives this paper originality. This systematic literature review and bibliometric analysis will help to map the culture, education, and sustainable development sector and to establish new research directions. The authors of this study identified four future research themes and formulated policy recommendations and a practical smart technology solution in the context of sustainability.
