This book analyses the economic development of cities from the
'cultural economy' and 'creative industry' perspectives, examining
and differentiating them as two related but distinct segments of
contemporary city economies. The authors argue that although they
are normally conflated, the first is largely subsidized while the
second is highly entrepreneurial hence they actually make very
different kinds of contribution to a city's character,
attractiveness and competitiveness. Creative Cities, Cultural
Clusters and Local Economic Development also examines the nature of
agglomeration economies, drawing on evidence from two types of
clustering activity based in the cultural economy. The first type
is exemplified in the chapter analysing the long-established
Florentine art restoration cluster beside the Arno that exports its
services globally to other art cities such as Kyoto. The second
type is denoted by creative industry clusters such as new media,
film-making and music in a variety of city contexts. The book
concludes with an invaluable review and mapping of these
developments in relation to their contributions to the city
economies, labour markets and societies in which they operate. The
book will appeal to academics and scholars of urban and regional
studies and cultural economics. Policymakers and others involved in
the creative industries and the cultural economy will also find
much to engage them.
