This paper seeks to examine critically the role of culture in the continued development, or regeneration, of `post-industrial' cities. First, it is critical of instrumental conceptions of culture with regard to urban regeneration. Secondly, it is critical of the adequacy of the conceptual framework of the `post-industrial city' (and the `service sector') as a basis for the understanding and explanation of the rise of cultural industries in cities. The paper is based upon a case study of the transformation of a classic, and in policy debates a seminal, `cultural quarter': Hoxton Square, North London. Hoxton, and many areas like it, are commonly presented as derelict parts of cities which many claim have, through a magical injection of culture, been transformed into dynamic destinations. The paper suggests a more complex and multifaceted causality based upon a robust concept of the cultural industries as industry rather than as consumption.

AbstractThis conceptual article identifies major changes in the 21st century society that gave birth to a new generation of cultural tourists and to an innovative type of cultural tourism business that meets their needs – transformative tourism. The transformative tourism business is analysed as an integral part of a transition from the paradigm of industrial to post-industrial servitized economic system by implementation of three major paradigm innovations. The research related to the development of paradigm innovations in cultural tourism provides an opportunity to supplement the existing knowledge not only about innovative ways of cultural tourism development in rural regions, but also about general challenges facing the rural development in the post-industrial society.

The development of local identity reflecting the local wisdom in the tourism development aims at maximizing the local values in developing the area.  This research-based paper describes the local wisdom and the development of local identity to promote cultural tourisme in Banyumas.  By using a qualitative method and a case study as its approach, the research reveals that the tourism development in the Banyumas regency has not focused on the development of its local identity yet.  Cablaka as the local identity of the Banyumas society has not become the way of life.  In this case, it has not absorbed into every sector of the Banyumas people’ lives, including the tourism sector.  The local wisdom in the tourism development is important for a society–including the Banyumas society–to get a better regional income.  It means the tourism develoment through implementating the local wisdom is able to improve the life condition of a society better than before.  So, the tourism development–especially promoting the cultural tourism–in the Banyumas regency does need to develop the local identity through its local values.

This chapter examines Glasgow’s successful 21st century transformation from an industrial city and discusses the insecurities and contradictions that challenge this positive story of regeneration. It highlights why Glasgow makes such a good case study of a post-industrial city, by discussing its recent history using a framing that draws out the city’s ‘epic’ and ‘toxic’ dimensions, during which both the private market and state-led planning failed so spectacularly, leading to a city that was decaying, with more acute economic and environmental problems than any other British city. The chapter then considers the theory of post-industrialism as it was developed in the 1970s and the archetypical characteristics of a post-industrial city, to pose the question: what lies beyond that transitional status?
