Following the restructuring process which swept away the
traditional manufacturing economy of the inner city 25 years ago,
new industries are transforming these former post-industrial
landscapes. These creative, technology-intensive industries include
Internet services, computer graphics and imaging, and video game
production. The development dynamics of these new sectors are
volatile in comparison with those of the classic 'Industrial City'.
But these new industries highlight the unique role of the inner
city in facilitating creative processes, innovation and social
change. Further, they reflect the intensity of interaction between
the 'global' and the 'local' in the metropolis, and represent key
agencies of urban place-making and re-imaging. This book addresses
the critical intersections between process and place which underpin
the formation of creative enterprises in the emergent industrial
districts of the 'new inner city'. It contains intensive case
studies of industrial restructuring within exemplary sites in
prominent world cities such as London, Singapore, San Francisco and
Vancouver. The studies demonstrate the global reach of development
and innovation across these cities and sites, marked by clustering,
rapid firm turnover, and interdependency between production and
consumption activity. The evocative case studies, brought to life
by interviews, sequential mapping exercises, media narratives, and
photography, also disclose the importance of local factors
(including urban scale, built form, property markets and policy)
which shape both the specific industrial structures and
socio-economic impacts. The New Economy of the Inner City places
inner city new industry formation within the development history of
the city, and underscores its role in larger processes of urban
transformation. The findings inform a critique and synthesis of
urban theory which frame the evolving conditions of the 21st
century metropolis. This book would be useful to researchers and
students of Geography, Urban Studies, Economics and Planning.
