| Abstract | Recent work has pointed towards the possibility that industries are not tied to their specific urban location as much as to their linkages with particular types of infrastructure and to their social and economic networks. Industries have similar clustering patterns even in very different cities. Using Bureau of Labor Statistics data, we conducted geographic information systems (GIS) analysis to compare cultural industries in Los Angeles and New York City, two cities with very different types of geography and urban environments. Two distinct findings emerged: (1) when cultural industries are disaggregated into distinct industrial subsectors (art, fashion, music, design), important differences among them emerge; and (2) cultural industries “behave” similarly in each city because their subsectors tend to colocate (e.g., art with design; music with film) in similar ways, and this colocation pattern remains consistent in both locations. Such notable clustering tendencies of cultural industries help inform future research and further enlighten our understanding of their location patterns. |
Recent work has pointed towards the possibility that industries are not tied to their specific urban location as much as to their linkages with particular types of infrastructure and to their social and economic networks. while some work on arts and culture indicates that different metro areas pos- sess different degrees of and specialty in the arts cultural industries and producers still tend to cluster in close proxim- ity to one another markusen and king ; markusen and schrock a b; currid. certainly the latter approach has been adopted more ubiquitously in part because devel- opment of cultural amenities has been hailed and criticized as being perceived as a magic cost-effective elixir of urban blight and attractor of the creative class see for example florida ; but also peck ; kotkin ; markusen et al. both cities are known for their arts-based economies yet the manifestation of the two industries are different. such a result corroborates pratts cultural industry production system model whereby he posits that interaction across cultural subsectors along with maximizing links between their production pro- cesses and local tourism and development efforts can pro- duce positive economic outcomes.
