“…Academic work has established that culture can be a key tool for economic development (cf. Sacco et al ), and we can situate fashion within the category of cultural and creative industries that should be employed to bring about this kind of culture‐led growth. Whilst there have been numerous studies of economically important sectors in Canada, ranging from the knowledge‐intensive technology business sector (Britton ), furniture (Drayse ), and wine (Doloreux, Shearmur, and Guillaume ), as well as the highly innovative, successfully exported Cirque du Solei in Montreal (Leslie and Rantisi ), the fashion industry has received less attention.…”

In recent years, tier‐two fashion countries have been making gains in the global fashion industry, with hip young brands, buzz‐worthy fashion weeks and export‐oriented designers. The Canadian fashion industry, on the other hand, continues to fall behind and instead has experienced recent high‐profile closures of leading domestic fashion names. This paper explores why this is the case by considering a wide range of factors from a historical and institutional perspective. We argue that Canadian fashion is facing a number of systemic problems relating to wider institutional and policy weaknesses, rather than a lack of talent and know‐how within the entrepreneurs and businesses in the sector. While the fashion industry is indeed global, we argue that it is in fact national and local level factors—political, economic, and cultural—that structure and constrain the Canadian fashion industry for independent designers. Through exploring the experiences of this group of actors—entrepreneurial fashion designers—in this particular context, we not only learn about Canada as an economy but also what is needed in order to develop the fashion industry more broadly. We provide a framework for analysing the range of socio‐economic, historical, and political factors at the national level which affect the performance of the fashion sector and the operation of fashion designers as the entrepreneurial actors at the heart of the industry.

“…Bajo este enfoque, un cluster/distrito creativo es un cluster/distrito industrial orientado a la producción de bienes o servicios creativos (Lazzeretti, 2013;Russo, 2000;Sacco & Blessi, 2008;Scott & Lerriche, s. f.;Van den Berg, Braun & Van Winden, 2001). En el caso de los estudios europeos, se hace particular énfasis en la presencia de recursos históricos y naturales (Lazzeretti, 2008).…”

La organización de la producción manufacturera en las grandes metrópolis se ha ido transformando por su relativa desindustrialización y acelerada servicialización, en mayor o menor medida según el grado de inserción en la nueva división internacional del trabajo. El objetivo principal de este artículo es determinar qué tipo de patrón industrial existía en el Área Metropolitana de la Ciudad de México en 2003, partiendo de los modelos conceptuales de la organización del espacio urbano más conocidos. Para lograr-lo se realizó un análisis microespacial del producto interno bruto (pib) de las manufac-turas de 4 418 áreas geoestadísticas básicas (ageb), con lo cual ha sido posible identi-ficar siete grandes concentraciones fabriles. A partir de ello se analizaron su morfología, su estructura espacial interna y su evolución futura. Un segundo gran objetivo es esque-matizar la evolución de los siete polígonos industriales desde los años sesenta, lo que ha permitido inferir la relevancia de las condiciones generales de la producción como ele-mento determinante de la configuración industrial de la metrópoli.

“…On the supply side, the provision of cultural activities may yield positive external effects to individuals and firms not involved in their production process, such as the increased attractiveness of places and improved quality of life due to cultural infrastructure and amenities (Falck et al, 2011). Cultural production in creative industries is also acknowledged to generate positive spillovers that enhance local development processes (Sacco et al, 2013). The producers of cultural services are not fully compensated in monetary terms for the benefits created, and culture is underprovided.…”

Emerging modes of public cultural spending: Direct support through production delegation

This article addresses the evolution of modes of public support of cultural production by discussing and analysing the emerging phenomenon of outsourcing of public cultural services taking place in Continental Europe, especially Italy. We argue that in this context, which is traditionally characterised by the public production of cultural services, the current outsourcing trend is changing the very nature of public intervention in the market for cultural goods and services. This change leads to the recognition and definition of a new category of public intervention in the cultural field: direct support through production delegation. Its main and distinctive feature is a combination of institutional arrangements aimed at reducing public spending inefficiency while preserving government determination of cultural policy guidelines. Increased uncertainty about economic conditions, such as the prospective cost reductions associated with outsourcing, future economic cycles and cultural consumer preferences, may also help explain the selection of this institutional arrangement.
