Urban cultural policy and the changing dynamics of cultural production

该项目旨在通过围绕文化产业与制造业之间的新兴联系进行国际比较研究，确定城市文化政策的新方向。澳大利亚的文化经济政策主要集中在文化消费上。这种方法没有考虑到文化经济的动态变化，特别是与复杂的城市制造业部门的新兴关系。因此，围绕文化生产的许多创新、就业和城市发展机会都没有实现。该项目的成果有望深入了解城市产业动态，并改变澳大利亚人对城市文化政策的概念化。

This project aims to identify new directions for urban cultural policy by conducting international comparative research around the emerging nexus between the cultural industries and manufacturing. Policies that govern Australia’s cultural economy focus predominately on cultural consumption. This approach does not account for the changing dynamics of the cultural economy, particularly the emergent relationships with a complex urban manufacturing sector. As a result, many innovation, employment and urban development opportunities around cultural production are unrealised. The results of the project are expected to yield insights into urban industry dynamics and change how Australians conceptualise urban cultural policy.
