Dear colleagues
I hope some of you may find this event below interesting.
Cultural Industries in Shanghai:
UK-China Dialogue on Future Academic and Industrial Collaboration in the Creative Industries + Book Launch
June 29, 2018 | Friday
9.00 - 16.00
Flett Theatre
Natural History Museum, London
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:
