Cultural Industries in Shanghai: Policy and Planning inside a Global City (2018) will be published by Intellect this June. Edited by Professor Rong Yueming (Shanghai Academy of Social Sciences) and Professor Justin O’Connor (Monash University), under the Intellect China Library Series, this is the first publication of its kind in the English language. It takes an insightful look into policy and planning of a city’s cultural development with specific case studies and its part in China’s Belt and Road Initiative. We are taking this rare opportunity to facilitate conversations around the topic of future UK-China collaboration in the creative industries and have invited experts from the UK as well as editor Rong to join us for a lively discussion.
Researchers, practitioners, business leaders and government bodies will all find much of interest in this important forum, to explore the sheer scale and energy of a new cultural economy and the opportunities that it will bring:
