“…The emerging concept of "new economy", or "knowledge economy" [64], which is gradually informing our times, assigns an utmost value to cultural capital and experience. A framework allowing relying on a reference conceptual map to identify points of strengths and criticalities in urban cultural systems is still missing; indeed, a recent study by Díez-Pisonero et al [65] aimed at the definition of a Synthetic Index of Cultural Components, but literature on the topic is very limited by now. However, if cities aim at maintaining highly competitive levels, they will have to devote specific attention, in planning activities, to their own cultural system and to the way it operates within the whole urban one.…”

The rapid spread of the COVID pandemic is deeply changing people’s lives and upsetting consolidated models and lifestyles. The social distancing measures for the reduction of contagion have been heavily affecting people’s daily experiences, such as for example the public’s relationship with cultural resources. Museums, in particular, are paying the highest price for that, forced to find new forms for heritage fruition, thus representing an emblematic case. Taking its steps from the analysis of the pandemic’s effects on global museum heritage and of museums’ response, the article focuses then on ICTs’ role as communication languages between heritage and its audiences in the solutions adopted, and on their suitability to the changed context. Finally, reflections on structural and contextual aspects of the dialogue between cultural resources and their public, beyond strictly technological matters, are proposed, to highlight the real extent of the challenges facing the museum sector.

“…While many CI products are readily disseminated across the world through extended channels of consumption, specific elements of CI consumption and much of CI production is disproportionally clustered in a limited number of major metropolitan areas (Lorenzen et al., 2008; Pratt, 2012; A. J. Scott, 2004). For example, when looking at the ‘global art centre index’ developed by Caset and Derudder (2017) (for alternatives, see Díez‐Pisonero et al., 2018; Skórska & Kloosterman, 2012) 1 , which ranks cities in terms of their global centrality in field‐configuring cultural events such as festivals, biennials and fairs, it can be noted that many of the leading metropolitan areas are the household names appearing atop world city rankings such as the one put together by the Globalisation and World Cities research network (see Table 1; Derudder & Taylor, 2018). Both rankings obviously present specific and narrow takes on ‘culture’ and ‘business networks’ alike, but it is nonetheless clear that cities such as New York, London, Tokyo, Beijing, Paris, Shanghai and Los Angeles are globally central in both of these.…”

This paper reviews the research literature analysing the uneven geographical distribution of cultural industries across the global urban system. We begin by discussing the two major conceptual links between cultural industries and urban economies: (1) production processes becoming more flexible and specialised, and (2) the symbolic‐oriented and place‐rooted identities of cultural products. This has provided the backcloth for a wide‐ranging urban‐geographical research agenda exploring cultural industries, and here the focus is on how these industries are unevenly distributed, implemented and shaped across the global urban system. Cultural industries' dependence on a large pool of creative labour, extensive local networks of suppliers, access to tacit knowledge, and synergies based on spatial proximity all strengthen their agglomeration in a limited number of major metropolitan areas. However, the cultural economy also increasingly thrives in a range of smaller and remote cities as these have succeeded integrating into global cultural production networks and/or carved out a niche in increasingly differentiated consumer markets. In addition, because the economic importance of cultural production is expanding rapidly across the globe, we are seeing an increasingly polycentric urban geography with new global cultural centres emerging on the map.
