Written by field experts and based on extensive primary research, this book provides readers with comprehensive analysis of the complex relationship between media industries and cities across diverse global contexts. The twelve chapters examine examples from Asia, Europe, and North America, covering film, television, music, games, and journalism to demonstrate how media-city relationships take distinctive forms in specific locations. Readers will gain in-depth understanding of how global media flows interact with local urban contexts, and how these interactions produce cultural, economic, political, and social consequences. The collection combines broad theoretical analysis with detailed case studies, advancing debates in the field of Media Industry Studies through analysing the media's multifaceted relationship to cities in a highly accessible way. This book is essential reading for undergraduates, postgraduates, and academic researchers in Communications, Cultural Studies, Media Studies, and Film and Television Studies, particularly those studying or researching media industries, global media flows, media economics, cultural production, and the intersection of media and place.
