Since 1997 the United Kingdom has pursued creative industry and creative city development in accordance with the New Labor Party policy, strengthening its cluster policy by assigning creative city policies to traditional manufacturing-oriented regions. Tech City in London, one of the most successful examples of digital clusters, is an area in which diverse ecosystems for venture business integration have been established, as the once barren space began to spontaneously develop. For this region, systematic linkages including universities, private companies, start-ups, and accelerators have been added, along with the UK government's active support system. As a result of this opportunity, the scale of the UK start-up ecosystem has significantly grown, the number of local companies has surged, and brand effect has greatly improved. Tech City is an example of a well-balanced combination of public effort and private governance, based on the region's historical background and its potential for growth. It is an effective coordination of public policy and private active investment, services, research, and education. The market platform for institutional technology and commercialization, and aggressive investment shares in the risk, have lead to its growth as a start-up and an innovative city. Britain's efforts to expand the nationwide cluster for the future-oriented digital economy is most noteworthy.

Many of the old industrial cities in advanced economies have experienced deindustrialization since the 1960s. While some of them have been transforming their economic structures with new economies, such as arts and cultural industries, others have been seriously suffering from economic and social problems. Brooklyn Borough of New York City is one of the best examples which have gone trough rapid de-industrialization; but have been reasonably successful in recovering its economy with arts and cultural industries. This paper introduces the process of developing creative industry clusters, articulates major actors, and find out the governance of the clusters, using three Brooklyn's arts clusters, such as DUMBO, BAM and Williamsburg. Based on the case studies, the paper draws theoretical and policy implications applicable to the Korean circumstance.

본 연구는 정보통신 산업 클러스터의 사례분석을 통해 제조업과 비교.분석하여 정책적 방향을 제안하고자 한다. 국내외 정보통신 산업 클러스터의 사례로 미국의 실리콘밸리, 일본의 테크노폴리스, 중국의 중관촌, 스웨덴의 시스 타와 국내의 대덕 밸리를 중심으로 특성을 도출하고자 한다. 산업 클러스터는 마이클 포터의 연구를 시작으로 하여 OECD 에서 국가혁신체제의 주요 주제로 제안하면서 국가 경쟁력의 핵심으로 등장하게 된다. 정보통신의 발달은 지역에 기반한 글로벌 경쟁력을 가진 산업 클러스터에 대한 체계적인 연구와 이에 대한 정책개발의 필요성이 증대되고 있다. 정보통신 산업 제품의 특성상 기술혁신 속도가 빠르고 제품의 라이플 사이클이 제조업 제품에 비해 짧은 특징을 지니고 있어, 투자에 대한 위험 (risk)이 발생한다. 또한 지식창조산업으로서 생산위주의 제조업과는 다른 지리적, 공간적 특성에 차이가 있으며, 고급 인력기술자의 활용도가 높아 안정적인 환경이 요구된다. 따라서 통신, 교통 등의 물리적인 기반시설뿐만 아니라 정보통신 관련 업체간 연계와 독특한 사회.문화적인 분위기 등이 어울려져 있음을 살펴볼 수 있다. 이러한 정보통신 산업 클러스터의 특성을 통해 본 연구는 경제의 신 성장동력 중에 하나인 정보 통신산업의 경쟁력을 높이고 세계적 수출산업으로 육성, 정보통신 중심지로서의 역할 수행 및 동북아 경제 중심 실현을 위해 정책적인 제안을 한다.

This paper analyzes the social cohesion effects of creative industrial as a core role player of emerging new economic paradigm of the creative economy using the case of Seoul Metropolitan Area(SMA) that is a typical cluster of creative industries in Korea. This study reclassified the creative industries in a Korean context into 13 industries in 6 sectors. Based on this reclassification, the study found out that the spatial pattern of creative industries in SMA is spatially much differentiated in terms of specialization, which demands more differentiated cluster strategy with different policy mix. This paper also investigates the social cohesion effects of creative industries using structural equation modelling. It turns out that the growth of creative industries is likely to contribute to the regional development capacity and also to provide positive effects on various aspects of the social cohesion.

Economic crisis, efforts to overcome the digital content industry development at home and abroad have been racing in the country's future lies in the digital content industry. Therefore, the digital content industry through vision, model identification knowledge-based global digital content market-based deployment is required. For research purposes the digital content industry to derive an alternative to national industrial development that will lay the groundwork. The deployment order for the first digital content industry, SWOT analysis performed to derive the Korean-specific model. As a result, measures based on the advancement of digital content industry as a long-term vision and specific goals are presented as staged. The age of convergence of the u-media content markets in government, corporations, consumers, and these form the structure of a virtuous cycle distribution systems for energy by being active, synergistic effects are obtained. Above all, based on the content industry to secure internal and external growth is key. Vision of the digital content, the growth momentum of the national social development policies to be used as a role model by changing the way a series of courses is required.

Culture and art are emerging as main components in the creative economy to enhance the competitiveness of urban centres in the global market by nurturing cultural or artistic industries. A range of research exists which investigates the role of artists and art museums in the process of urban regeneration in Northern American and Western European countries. Yet research into the geography of at galleries acting as an intermediary between art works and cultural consumers remain rare. Empirical research on gentrification and urban regeneration and their connection with spaces for cultural consumption in Asian cities is even less common. The aim of this paper is to show the rise and decline of art galleries in Seoul and the way that this reflects urban development process, historically specific conditions and the characteristics of artists' communities. The background of the locational agglomeration of an galleries is examined in connection with the human ecology of artists, art business and its implication for the global market. The location of art galleries in Seoul seems to be affected by commercial art business and public policy, rather than by artists communities embedded in local areas. The location dynamics of art gallery clusters in Seoul is examined in the context of rent increases, changes of consumers' taste and fluctuating market cycles.

The members of Food Valley in Netherlands recognised that the networking function is the most important among demand articulation, network formation and innovation-process support. Furthermore, SMEs expect the support of internationalization from Food Valley organization. It is expected that the function of Food Valley which can establish effective network and environment for open innovation will be more significant in the future. Our government also designated Iksan as a national food cluster for preparing the growth of international food market and promoting the effective growth of domestic food industry. As noted earlier in the case of Food Valley, the government should make Iksan Cluster focus on building network for innovation and development of domestic food industry through making innovative environment between food industry and local university. And then, this food cluster will become the center of export of food products and sophistication of domestic food sector.
