Description:Museums and the Politics of Urban Development is a comparative international analysis of the role of museums in prestige cultural precincts. Over the last 10-15 years there has been a significant investment in prestigious urban developments which encompass multiple cultural and leisure facilities. Many of these precincts have a museum as a key cultural institution. "Museums and the Politics of Urban Development" provides an analysis of the international phenomenon of museum-led urban development as has taken place over the last decade or so. In addition to an analysis and discussion of the general phenomenon the book will consider a range of carefully selected instances of museum-led urban development in Australia, Hong Kong, Singapore, the United Kingdom, and the United Arab Emirates. Despite having radically different cultural, economic, political and social contexts cities in these countries have all in the last decade made a significant investment in a prestigious museum focused cultural precinct as a way of pump priming the regeneration, revitalisation or rebranding of the city."Museums and the Politics of Urban Development "challenges more familiar accounts, primarily emerging from the disciplines of cultural geography, cultural studies, urban studies and tourism studies which understand museums in cultural precincts as functioning as monoliths - institutions with a single dimension - characterised simply as vehicles of exclusive acculturation or as having purely commercial objectives. In introducing a more nuanced understanding of the museum, drawn from the discipline of museum studies, and a more nuanced approach to the analysis of cultural policy, taking account of the detailed and discursive conditions of policy and programme development, "Museums and the Politics of Urban Development "presents a careful and sophisticated analysis of museums in recently developed urban precincts and their political and policy contexts. Museums are analysed as institutions with multiple, sometimes competing meanings, situated in complex practical and discursive governmental environments. In recognising and engaging with this complexity the book will provides a new critical but practically focused assessment of the actual and potential role of museums in urban development.
