文章簡介------
文化往往被認為是歐美政府一種處理市區問題的策略，自80年代起，都市更新這一類的都市政策都相繼出現了文化轉向---文化機構的建立、文化計劃的倡議。但有多少政策成功﹖各種文化生產者是否願意加入政府發展的計劃﹖文章以文化社會都市學者Sharon Zukin的文化概念為重點，審視了英美以文化帶領城市發展的現象。
Article Summary. Since the 1980s, the cultural industries have gained a key role in strategies to deal with urban problems, seen as able to provide a new economic base in post-industrial settings. Cases of flagship cultural institutions such as Tate Modern or the Guggenheim in Bilbao imply that a cultural turn in urban policy delivers urban revitalisation. Following the turn in Glasgow's fortunes after being European Capital of Culture in 1990, it is easy to understand how city authorities and developers alike are captivated by cultural projects. But there are questions: is advocacy for the creative industries to be trusted? To what extent can policies and strategies which are successful in one city be mapped onto others? And to what extent do cultural producers, such as artists, subscribe to the party line? An increasing number of voices of dissent in the arts suggest an alternative approach to urban regeneration. This paper questions the rhetoric of the cultural industries and investigates emerging alternative scenarios.
