“…Existing studies on metropolitan areas include New York, Atlanta, Los Angeles, Washington DC, Montreal [37], Sydney [38] and Seoul [39]. Many small cities that have good transport conditions and communication infrastructures and are within an hour's drive to a metropolis have also become a place to develop service sectors [40].…”

Producer service industries are an important feature in the current development of a metropolis. Researchers from different countries are increasingly concerned about location changes and the motives of producer service sectors in cities. Given the rapid development of producer service sectors in developing countries, this study examines changes in the distribution of producer service sectors over the past decade and factors influencing them in a case study using the city of Hangzhou in China. Results show that Hangzhou's producer service sector is still mainly concentrated in the central business district (CBD). However, a distinct trend of diffusion to suburban areas was observed, which formed several secondary clusters on the periphery of the city. Locations of the CBD, sub-centers, and professional clusters of producer service sectors established by the government are the most important factors that affect the spatial distribution of producer service sectors. The main influencing factors for the spatial evolution of producer service sectors are: (1) the high development cost and residential suburbanization of the central areas of the city promote the development of producer service sectors toward the periphery; (2) city planning has guided the clustering of producer service sectors on the city's CBD and secondary city centers; (3) city renewal has provided personalized and diversified development space for producer service sectors; (4) incentive policies introduced by the government, such as rentals, and taxes have enhanced the orderly aggregation of producer service sectors.

“…tiskařské služby mají větší tendenci koncentrace jinde v regionu, a to v nedalekém městě Český Těšín, kde je vůbec nejvyšší podíl tisku na zaměstnanosti v kreativních odvětvích v celém Česku. Určité menší zastoupení firem (a s tím spojený počet zaměstnanců) ve městě je možnost přičíst i službám vydavatelským, tvorbě programů a TV vysílání (Slach, Ženka 2017) (jedinou institucí koncentrovanou ve vnitřním městě Ostravy je sídlo České televize, které čítá zhruba 215 zaměstnanců) (Rumpel, Slach, Koutský 2010), oproti tomu vysoký počet zaměstnanců vykazují služby vydávání softwarových programů. Naopak, slabých hodnot dosahují na území Ostravy odvětví vydavatelství počítačových her a návrhářská činnost (Slach, Ženka 2017).…”

“…CI tend to require geographical proximity to their principal customers -corporate, headquarters, public institutions and firms in various (knowledge-intensive) business services that are disproportionately concentrated in the largest urban agglomerations (Keeble, D. and Nachum, L. 2002;Gallego, J. and Maroto, A. 2015;Ženka, J. et al 2017a).…”

In this paper we aim to describe and explain current spatial distribution of creative industries in Czechia. We ask to what extent are localisation patterns of creative industries influenced by specific local contexts. Therefore, we employed a typology of regions (close to local labour areas) that may explain spatial distribution of creative industries: metropolitan cores, metropolitan hinterlands, old industrial regions, urban and rural regions. We use general linear models combining the regional typology as a fixed factor and four covariates -employment density, density of cultural industries, mean firm size in creative industries and diversity of economic activities. We employed horizontal localisation quotient of regional employment in creative industries for the year 2014 as a dependent variable. Our main finding is that the regional typology explains a higher share of variability of the dependent variable (relative specialisation in creative industries) than any other explanatory variable. However, after exclusion of metropolitan cores, the model lost a significant amount of its explanatory power. Urban size/density and position in urban hierarchy are the key explanatory variables. We found only limited empirical evidence that regional contexts affect localisation of CI -regions of similar population/economic size do not differ significantly in spatial concentration of CI.
