By drawing on experiences from the traditions and cultural heritage of China and the UK, and through knowledgeexchange, this project examines the challenges and opportunities for sustaining designs and products of ethno-culturalsignificance through the creation of urban ecologies of creative practice in major Chinese cities. It will result in a jointauthored report that includes: Urban Ecologies of Creative Practice: A framework for understanding the current conditionand future potential, socially and economically, of culturally significant designs, products and practices in Chinese cities.This will be of interest to those in government and business sectors related primarily to The Creative Industries, with strongassociated links to the themes of Humanities Contributing to Development and Urban Transformations. The project willdevelop a common understanding that recognises:a. different qualities and stages of sustainment of culturally significant designs, products and practices in China and the UK;b. related rural-urban contexts, between the two countries andc. from the above, investigate commonalities, differences and opportunities for mutual learning and research developmentin relation to culturally significant designs, products and practices - leading to a framework defining key characteristics,strengths, weaknesses, benefits and obstacles, and future potential and opportunities for culturally significant designs andproducts within Urban Ecologies of Creative Practice in Chinese cities.While there are more and more re-examinations of the quality of Chinese cities after their rapid expansions in recent years,this urban development can lead to a transition from hard power (politics, law) to soft power (culture, economy). The richethnic cultures in China, especially those migrating from rural areas into cities, are set to reshape the soft power, which hasthe potential to promote the sustainable development of cities and ethnic cultures. This research aims at how to understandand carry forward ethnic cultures in the transformation of Chinese cities through studying creative designs, products andservices.This research will be conducted in China and the UK. The project includes 6 visits - 3 by China researchers to the UK inAutumn 2016, 2017, 2018 and 3 by UK researchers to China in Spring 2016, 2017 and 2018. Each will include sitevisits and workshops. The latter two (one in UK, one in China) include extended workshops to develop the framework andthe final workshop includes Creative Industries representatives from the private sector and government.These visits will each result in a Summary Report and contribution to a joint website Gallery and Blog Series. In addition,joint summary reports will be produced documenting the emergent understandings of the relevance and role of the internetand digital space in the future directions of culturally significant designs, products and practices. Emerging understandings,insights and conclusions will inform the creation and successive refinements of the Framework. A summary report andGallery contributions will document the outcomes and insights drawn from the International Studios with students.The final project report will provide an overview of the project, the finalised framework, as well as project outcomes,conclusions, and identification for future joint research themes and opportunities.ODA Compliance: Ethno-Cultural products and practices have a strong relationship to the notions of 'good work' andemployment thus to economic development and growth. This research will contribute to education and knowledgedevelopment, among researchers, the students, and private sector and government participants. Wider dissemination offindings through various publications will inform future research directions related to the creative industries, humanitiescontributing to development and urban transformations.

通过借鉴中国和英国的传统和文化遗产的经验，并通过知识交流，该项目探讨了在中国主要城市通过创造创意实践的城市生态来保持具有民族文化意义的设计和产品的挑战和机遇。它将产生一份联合报告，其中包括：城市创意实践生态学：一个框架，用于了解中国城市具有重要文化意义的设计、产品和实践在社会和经济上的现状和未来潜力。这将引起主要与创意产业相关的政府和商业部门的兴趣，并与人文促进发展和城市转型的主题密切相关。该项目将形成一种共识，承认：a.中国和英国具有重要文化意义的设计、产品和实践的不同质量和维护阶段；b.两国之间相关的城乡背景和c.从以上几个方面，调查与具有文化意义的设计、产品和实践相关的相互学习和研究开发的共同点、差异和机会-导致一个框架，该框架定义了中国城市创意实践生态中具有文化意义的设计和产品的关键特征、优势、劣势、好处和障碍，以及未来的潜力和机会。尽管中国城市在近年来快速扩张后，对其质量的重新审视越来越多，但这种城市发展可能导致从硬实力(政治、法律)向软实力(文化、经济)的转变。中国丰富的文化，特别是那些从农村迁移到城市的文化，将重塑软实力，这具有促进城市和民族文化可持续发展的潜力。这项研究旨在通过研究创意设计、产品和服务来理解和弘扬中国城市转型中的民族文化。这项研究将在中国和英国进行。该项目包括6次访问-2016年秋季中国研究员访问英国3次，2017年春季英国研究人员访问中国3次。每一项都将包括现场展示和研讨会。后两次访问(一次在英国，一次在中国)包括开发框架的扩展研讨会和最终研讨会，包括来自私营部门和政府的创意产业代表。每次访问都将产生一份摘要报告，并为联合网站画廊和博客系列投稿。此外，还将编写联合总结报告，记录对互联网和数字空间在具有重要文化意义的设计、产品和做法的未来方向中的相关性和作用的新认识。新出现的理解、见解和结论将为框架的创建和后续改进提供信息。一份总结报告和画廊投稿将与学生一起记录从国际工作室获得的成果和见解。最终的项目报告将概述项目、最终框架，以及项目成果、结论和未来联合研究主题和机会的确定。官方发展援助遵从性：民族文化产品和做法与“良好工作”和就业的概念密切相关，从而与经济发展和增长有关。这项研究将有助于研究人员、学生、私营部门和政府参与者之间的教育和知识发展。通过各种出版物更广泛地传播信息，将为今后有关创意产业、人文和社会发展以及促进发展和城市变革的研究方向提供信息。
