Cultural policies and urban change in five West European port cities since the early 1990s

该研究项目旨在更好地了解文化政策与五个西欧港口城市（利物浦、纽卡斯尔-泰恩河畔、马赛、热那亚和那不勒斯）不断变化的特性和文化生活之间的关系。主要关注的是这些城市自20世纪90年代初以来如何利用当地的文化资源来应对经济衰退，并在全球经济中找到新的利基。该研究还考虑了文化主导的城市复兴战略如何受到多种族和多文化主义趋势以及意识形态、技术和文化生产领域变化的影响。

The research project aims to provide a better understanding of the relationship between cultural policies and the changing identities and cultural life of five West European port cities: Liverpool, Newcastle-Upon Tyne, Marseilles, Genoa and Naples. The main focus is on how these cities have since the early 1990s used local cultural resources to respond to economic decline, and find new niches in the global economy. The study considers also how culture-led urban regeneration strategies have been influenced by trends towards multi-ethnicity and multiculturalism, and by changes in the spheres of ideology, technology and cultural production.
