Evolution characteristics of the Yangtze River Delta city network from the perspective of cultural and creative enterprises

This paper provides an analysis for the parent-subsidiary data collected from the listed cultural and creative enterprises in 16 cities in the Yangtze River Delta. The social network method and the rank-size rule are adopted in this analytical work. The evolution characteristics are explored from the perspective of cultural and creative enterprise clusters based on the network structure of cities in the Yangtze River Delta. The research indicates that: (1) From year 2005 to 2015, the number of headquarters of listed cultural and creative companies in the designated areas has increased steadily. Headquarters were mainly established in Shanghai, Hangzhou, Suzhou and Nanjing; (2) Media enterprises, software and computer-related enterprises were mostly located in traditional areas. In the production network concerning design and consultation enterprises, traditional non-core cities have gradually risen to regional core cities; (3) The structure of the production network of listed companies has grown increasingly sophisticated. Meanwhile, the multi-center pattern and new cores have emerged in succession and the city rank within the production network also projected a changing trend. Spatial dynamics of the cultural and creative industry is shaping the architecture of the cities. For these reasons, it is recommended that cultural and creative enterprises in the Yangtze River Delta should reinforce the parent-subsidiary connections and promote the networking of intercity creativity flows. Hopefully, such efforts would promote the new system of creative urban agglomerations shaped by the source-flow creativity pattern in the Yangtze River Delta.
