文化产业对城市经济发展的重要性日益凸显。然而，很少有人关注文化生产中涉及的复杂的文化和经济活动。然而，认识到这种复杂性对政策具有重大影响。本文探讨了蒙特利尔的设计行业，该行业近年来已获得国际知名度。我们分析了四个公共和非营利机构在监管该部门中所发挥的作用，并阐明了它们协调商业和美学要求的机制。对这些举措的审查有助于深入了解政策圈内的机遇和挑战，以适应文化产业的概念化，并认识到其不可简化的混合性质。
Cultural industries have assumed an increased importance to urban economic development. However, little attention has been paid to accommodating the complex set of activities—both cultural and economic—implicated in cultural production. A recognition of this complexity, however, has significant implications for policy. This paper considers the design sector in Montréal, a sector which has attained international visibility in recent years. We analyze the role played by four public and nonprofit institutions in regulating this sector and illuminate their mechanisms for reconciling commercial and aesthetic imperatives. An examination of such initiatives lends insight into the opportunities and the challenges within policy circles for accommodating a conceptualization of cultural industries that recognizes their irreducibly hybrid nature.
