...the Cardiff Bay are it is important to understand its history and why it needed regeneration. Cardiff bay, formerly known as Cardiff Docks, was originaly founded as the main port for exporting coal and iron in 18th century. Cardiff Bay owes much of it's history to the Industrial Revolution of the 1780's and played a major part.Cardiff docks was one of the most important ports of the world. Coal export played a major part in the development of the docks during the 19th century Cardiff's economy was founded on its docks Coal from the nearby vallies of South East Wales came to cardiff to be exported all over the world. 80 years ago Cardiff was a major international port. People from all over the world came to work here. The dockside community of Butetown had a multiracial mix, unique in South Wales. TIger bay The locals called it. The docks declined with the decline of the Welsh coal industry, bringing unemployment and poverty to the area. Unfortunately, during the decline of coal exports in the late 1930s, Butetown began to suffer from the effects of mass unemployment. It became dirty, noisy and crime levels were rising. As a result, the wealthier of it's inhabitants moved to the more reputable suburbs in Cardiff, and in their place arose a multi-ethnic community formed by people from all over the world. The 1960 brought a first attempt at redevelopment. The old houses of Tiger bay were knocked down Isolated geographicly from the rest of the Cardiff, TIger Bay had...

...World Cities The global pattern of urbanisation: millionaire cities, mega cities and world cities • At a global scale, rapid urbanisation has occurred over the last 50 years. • Almost 50% of the world’s population lives in towns and cities. 19% of the world’s population lives in cities of more than 1 million people. • The most urbanised continents are Europe, North and South America and Oceania and the least urbanised continents are Asia and Africa. • The number of urban dwellers is by far largest in Asia, with 1.4 billion people living in towns and cities (40% of the population). • Urbanisation is increasing most rapidly in Africa and Asia. • This trend is expected to continue so that by 2025 almost half the population of these continents will live in urban areas and 80% of urban dwellers will live in developing countries. • Increased global urbanisation has resulted in the development of many millionaire cities. • There is also a significant number of enormous megacities, some of which are classed as world cities. ❖ Millionaire cities are those with more than 1 million people. India and China have the most millionaire cities in the world. ❖ Megacities are those with more than 10 million people, of which there are 20 (15 in the developing world) ❖ World cities are those which have great influence on a global scale, because of their financial status and worldwide commercial power....

...Scott / CULTURAL-PRODUCTS INDUSTRIES REVIEW / March 2004 10.1177/1078087403261256 URBAN AFFAIRS ARTICLE CULTURAL-PRODUCTS INDUSTRIES AND URBAN ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT Prospects for Growth and Market Contestation in Global Context University of California, Los Angeles ALLEN J. SCOTT The article begins with a brief definition of the cultural economy. A first generation of local economic development policy approaches based on place marketing and associated initiatives is described. The possibilities of a more powerful second-generation approach are then sketched out with special emphasis on localized complexes of cultural-products industries. An extensive review and classification of these complexes is laid out, and their inward and outward relations to global markets are considered. On this basis, a critical discussion of local economic policy options focused on cultural-products industries is offered. Contrasting examples of development initiatives in major global cities, in selected old manufacturing towns, and in the Multimedia Super Corridor of Malaysia are briefly presented. It is suggested that the growth and spread of localized production agglomerations based on cultural-products industries are leading not to cultural uniformity but to greatly increased diversity at the global level. Keywords: agglomeration; cultural economy; globalization; industrial districts; local economic development; place marketing Over the past decade or so, the industrial profile...
