“…Nastale so {tevilne izpeljanke, vendar pojmi ustvarjalna ali kulturna proizvodnja/industrija/ekonomija opisujejo isti, klju~ni del terciarizacije in postfordisti~nega na~ina gospodarjenja. Poleg vzpona potro{ni{tva in z njim povezanih dejavnosti (predvsem trgovine in osebnih storitev) sodobno ekonomijo namre~ zaznamuje tudi šindustrializacija storitvenega sektorja' oziroma vzpon specializiranih storitev (Esser, Hirsch 1994). Izraz kulturna industrija torej nakazuje dve temeljni zna~ilnosti: da ustvarja proizvode in storitve, ki imajo pogosto nematerialen zna~aj oziroma so produkt ~love{ke inovativnosti in ustvarjalnosti (kulture); proizvodi in storitve se ustvarjajo na šindustrijski' na~in, predvsem s pomo~jo sodobnih informacijsko-telekomunikacijskih tehnologij.…”

“…Along with the rise of consumerism and related activities (mainly trading and personal services) modern economy is also characterized with the industrialization of the service sector, or better said the rise of specialized services (Esser, Hirsch 1994). The term cultural industry implies two basic characteristics: it assures products and services, which often have a non-material character or are a product of human innovativeness and creativity (culture); products and services are formed in an industrial manner, mainly with the help of modern information-telecommunication technologies.…”

The scheme of the proposed Novi Kolizej in Ljubljana is characteristic for cultural industry, as it combines commercial and artistic function. Zasnova predlaganega Novega Kolizeja v Ljubljani je zna~ilna za kulturno industrijo, saj zdru`uje poslovno in umetni{ko funkcijo. ABSTRACT: The article introduces a new form of economic activities, which has attracted much attention during the past years. This new form is cultural industry, a term which defines a certain part of tertiary activities, the importance of which is rapidly gaining in importance within cities. The term cultural industry includes all highly specialized services, which provide products and services, that have a higher symbolic than material value and trade with intellectual property rights. The article provides precise definitions of cultural industry and an empirical presentation in the case of Ljubljana. Furthermore the article also implies possible consequences of cultural industry on the economic and spatial development of cities.

“…social capital, partnership and industrial districts (Mayer, 1992(Mayer, , 1994Berggren et al, 1998). In contrast, the more pessimistic authors (Esser & Hirsch, 1994;Kearns & Turok, 2000;Engstrand, 2003) argue that there is little scope for freedom of action. There is no evidence of a trend toward more local industrial districts, and multinational companies still dominate many local economies.…”

In this article we want to show how conceptions about collaboration for local eocnomic development in Sweden are constructed on national and local levels. We also show how these conceptions have been realized in two different company networks; in the city of Ö stersund ("Odenskog företagsstaden") and in the city of Karlskrona ("Telecom City"). In politics and research, local collaboration or cluster formation are viewed as important tools and levers for local economic development. However, we argue that the local labour markets and unemployment rates in our case studies do not differ significantly, despite very different strategies for collaboration. Therefore, we suspect that the political focus on collaboration is a way of legitimizing the change in regional policy rather than a delegation of real power to the local level. If this continues, we fear that the current regional policy is reduced to a discourse of popular concepts rather than a real instrument for local economic development.

“…Neste enquadramento, as autoridades locais detêm o papel de orquestrador, construindo processos catalisadores de cooperação e de inovação (Mayer, 1995). Este "papel catalisador" na construção de novas capacidades processuais prende-se também, e fortemente, com o actual e exponencial desenvolvimento de redes de comunicação, estas próprias modificando profundamente as percepções e actuações territoriais (Esser e Hirsch, 1994).…”

Cidades-Comunidades e Territ6riosDez. 2000, n. 0 1, pp. 57-72 ]oao Seixas * R esumo: Perante diffceis e difusas percep<;oes da grande cidade, nos mais variados sectores da sociedade, tem-se tornado cada vez mais complexo exercfcio de uma gestiio e regula<;iio sustentaveis destes territ6rios urbanos. Porem, niio se tern assistido na pratica a gran des altera<;oes nos sistemas polftico, institucional e administrati vo. A "cidade real" prossegue o seu caminho de afastamento da "cidade legal". As mais recentes linhas de pensamento ao nfvel das polfticas urbanas apontam-nos interessantes caminhos no sentido de uma governa<;iio urbana mais plural, eficiente e visionaria, reconhecendo que e tambem na diversidade que a criatividade e as dinamicas se desenvolvem. Se as institui<;oes do Estado, nos seus diferentes nfveis devem ter urn papel charneira de catalisador de uma moti va<;iio cultural nesse senti do, os actuais enquadramentos exec uti vo, polftico e normativo parecem ainda niio perspectivar grandes entusiasmos. Mas perante as urgencias de actua<;iio, tensoes e expectativas suceder-se-iio no cenario urbano de multiplos actores e influencias. Por conseguinte, competira muito aos movimentos cfvicos esse papel de consciencializa<;iio, por pressiio polftica, de muitas dimensoes "niio visfveis" na cidade.Tambem aqui o refor<;o da identidade e das representa<;oes urbanas e essencial. E pela vertente cultural que se podera preencher a "terra de ninguem" entre a imobilidade institucional e a desresponsabilidade social. Palavras
