| Abstract | This article examines the place of large studio complexes in plans for the regeneration of inner‐city areas of Sydney, Melbourne and Toronto. Recent developments in each city are placed in the context of international audiovisual production dynamics, and are considered in terms of the ways they intersect with a range of policy thinking. They are at once part of particular urban revitalisation agendas, industry development planning, city branding and image‐making strategies, and new thinking about film policy at national and sub‐national levels. The article views studio complexes through four frames: as particular kinds of studio complex development; as “locomotives” driving a variety of related industries; as “stargates” enabling a variety of transformations, including the remediation of contaminated, derelict or outmoded land controlled by public authorities or their agents close to the centre of each city; and as components of the entrepreneurial, internationally oriented city. © 2004, Copyright Taylor & Francis Group, LLC. |

| Filmmaking contributes to urban regeneration and citybranding, and provides an attendant boost to a citys standing in tables of global cities. . | As creative hubs, studios foster innovation and facilitate a variety of creative work both inside and outside the complex itself. . | It is also part of a new cultural and urban policy emphasis on infrastructure provision to enhance quality of life in cities, to attract tourists, to stimulate investment, rejuvenate inner-city areas and repopulate these areas with moneyed urban professionals and other new economy workers. . | Typically these redevelopments are central compo- nents of place-marketing strategies designed to increase local tourism, and involve dramatic makeovers of urban sites that either efface their former uses, remodel them for recreational purposes or alter them for consumption by tourists as nostalgic or romanticised places. . |
