3. PROMOTING LOCAL DEVELOPMENT BY CREATING CULTURAL PRODUCTS their distinctive character is exploited by adding trademarks, such as that of the perfumes of Grasse. Like many medium-sized Japanese towns, the city of Nagahama, in Shiga prefecture, underwent a wave of modernisation that was detrimental to its traditional heritage. When the bubble of the 1990s burst, it was compelled to seek new sources of development, especially in view of its decreasing population. A potential opportunity arose when the Kurakabe Bank relocated, abandoning its previous premises for demolition. While the building, which dates back to the turn of the century, lacked great architectural distinction, it did possess a certain character and could boast a centre-city location in Kurakabe Square. Under pressure from a number of non-profit organisations, the municipality took over the property so as to turn it into the Kurokabe Glass Craft Building – a showcase for a craft that had once been a cornerstone of the local economy. But establishing this showcase was just the beginning: a mixed enterprise with capital from both the public sector (the municipality and the region) and private enterprise (glass firms) decided to surround the building with display workshops and showrooms featuring the various techniques of glass craftsmanship. The joint venture was managed by private partners, and before long about ten such facilities had been established. Activities were interlinked on both an intangible level and with more tangible marketing strategies. Lastly, the joint venture created its own brand – Reflection Kurokabe. A further consequence of this renaissance of an activity that had existed for four hundred years, but most of whose firms had shut down during the 1980s, was that restoration work was undertaken all around the Square, including Museum Street, where a systematic renovation of old houses was begun. Tourist attractions followed, and the number of tourists, which had been under 300 000 in 1981, exceeded two million in 2001. Even so, this did not solve all of the problems: the population continued to wane, and only 10% of these tourists stayed even one night in Nagahama, diminishing their economic impact. Yet a number of factors were identified to explain the success: a capacity to combine tangible and intangible heritage; the role of third-sector organisations; the extent of private-sector management, which attained its marketing objectives; and, not least importantly, the ability of this traditional craft to address a yearning to improve the quality of everyday living (Kakiouchi, 2003). - Finally, we may identify metropolitan cultural districts that can appear in the form of an extension of a museum district but will be much larger. They attempt to breathe life and activity into an area by associating the performing arts, museums and producers of audiovisual or other cultural goods (such as radio and TV stations, film and recording studios). They often present a core and two peripheral circles. The core includes the key cultural institutions: theatres, museums, CULTURE AND LOCAL DEVELOPMENT - ISBN 92-64-00990-6 - © OECD 2005 109
3. PROMOTING LOCAL DEVELOPMENT BY CREATING CULTURAL PRODUCTS concert halls or art galleries. The first, inner circle includes creative workshops and recording studios. The second, outer circle embraces hotels, restaurants and souvenir shops. In many cases, these districts emerge without the presence of monuments or historic sites, and they will tend therefore to highlight their recreational, entertainment or “edutainment” attractions. Such districts have often been created in big cities, in neighbourhoods that were abandoned and where land was available at a cost acceptable to those footing the bill. Derelict industrial sites have often been converted into arts facilities, and have become prime inner-city attractions for places including Marseille, Liverpool and Boston. One of the best examples of the metropolitan culture district is that of Los Angeles, which embraces several types of cultural districts. These include, first, the culture industry districts, beginning with the most famous of all, Hollywood, the boundaries of which in fact extend well beyond that city to cover the entire LA basin. Nearby we find entertainment districts. A second type of district is the design district, the activities of which reach in many directions: fashion, automobiles, architecture etc. Finally, there are the idiosyncratic cultural product districts, producing perhaps garments or furniture. Scott estimated the number of people employed in these districts in 1996 at 412,392, or nearly 12% of the workforce. Table 3.2.
