The cultural economy forms a leading trajectory of urban
development, and has emerged as a key facet of globalizing cities.
Cultural industries include new media, digital arts, music and
film, and the design industries and professions, as well as allied
consumption and spectacle in the city. The cultural economy now
represents the third-largest sector in many metropolitan cities of
the West including London, Berlin, New York, San Francisco, and
Melbourne, and is increasingly influential in the development of
East Asian cities (Tokyo, Shanghai, Hong Kong and Singapore), as
well as the mega-cities of the Global South (e.g. Mumbai, Capetown,
and Sao Paulo). Cities and the Cultural Economy provides a critical
integration of the burgeoning research and policy literatures in
one of the most prominent sub-fields of contemporary urban studies.
Policies for cultural economy are increasingly evident within
planning, development and place-marketing programs, requiring large
resource commitments, but producing - on the evidence - highly
uneven results. Accordingly the volume includes a critical review
of how the new cultural economy is reshaping urban labour, housing
and property markets, contributing to gentrification and to
'precarious employment' formation, as well as to broadly favorable
outcomes, such as community regeneration and urban vitality. The
volume acknowledges the important growth dynamics and
sustainability of key creative industries. Written primarily as a
text for upper-level undergraduate and Masters students in urban,
economic and social geography; sociology; cultural studies; and
planning, this provocative and compelling text will also be of
interest to those studying urban land economics, architecture,
landscape architecture and the built environment.
