Digital and Design Driven Creative Economy
数字与设计驱动的创意经济

Abstract

Dundee, located in eastern Scotland, was designated a "City of Design" by UNESCO in 2014. The city has a rich design tradition, having been a key center for design and manufacturing in 19th-century Scotland. After facing economic decline due to industrial decay, Dundee successfully transitioned from an industrial city to a creative one through a strategy driven by design and culture.

The formation of Dundee's creative industries has been closely tied to government policies and industry cooperation. The local government integrates design principles into urban development strategies, offering training and resources to support local innovators. Dundee combines traditional culture with modern design to help preserve and innovate the city's stories. The city’s educational institutions, such as Dundee School of Design and Abertay University, continuously supply skilled professionals in fields like product design, textile design, and digital technology, creating a comprehensive creative ecosystem.

Dundee's design innovation spans several fields, especially digital gaming. Abertay University launched the world’s first degree in game design and development, and companies like DMA Design and 4J Studio, creators of 'Grand Theft Auto' and 'Minecraft', respectively, helped establish Dundee as a global hub for digital gaming.

he V&A Dundee Museum stands as a landmark of architectural innovation in the city, driving cultural tourism and design activities. It regularly hosts international exhibitions and design forums, providing a platform for local and international designers, thereby enhancing Dundee's global influence in the creative industry.

undee has also made notable progress in sustainable design, improving bike facilities, pedestrian systems, and public spaces, which enhance livability and quality of life. The integration of digital technologies and service design has also linked Dundee’s design industry with modern tech, promoting smart city development.

In cultural and creative industries, "Creative Dundee" plays a key role by funding local artists, organizing design festivals, and linking creative outputs with market needs, creating a positive cycle of cultural and economic growth. Dundee also hosts an annual Design Month to engage the public and raise awareness about urban design.

In conclusion, by integrating design thinking with digital technology, culture, and sustainability, Dundee has developed a unique model of industrial innovation.

摘要

邓迪，位于苏格兰东部，于2014年被评为“UCCN设计之都”。这座城市的设计传统深厚，早在19世纪便是苏格兰设计与制造的重要中心之一。在经历了工业衰退后的经济困境后，邓迪利用设计与文化双轮驱动的战略，成功实现了从传统工业城市到创意城市的转型。

邓迪创意产业的形成与政府的政策支持和产业合作密切相关。市政府积极将设计原则融入城市发展策略，并通过提供培训和资源支持本地创新企业。同时，邓迪把传统文化与设计相结合，助力城市故事的传承和创新。设计教育也为邓迪的创意产业提供了源源不断的人才支持，如邓迪设计学院和阿伯泰大学培养了大量高素质的设计人才，涵盖产品设计、纺织设计和数字技术等多个领域，构筑完整的创意生态。

邓迪的设计产业创新体现在多个领域，尤其是在数字游戏产业上。邓迪阿伯泰大学开设了全球首个游戏设计开发学位课程，并设立了“Dare to be Digital”游戏开发竞赛，进一步推动了游戏产业的发展。DMA Design公司开发的《侠盗猎车手（Grand Theft Auto）》和4J Studio推出的《我的世界》风靡全球，这些都将邓迪推向全球数字游戏中心的地位。

而V&A邓迪博物馆则作为邓迪建筑设计创新的标志，不仅成为城市的视觉地标，也是文化旅游和设计活动的核心驱动力。该博物馆通过定期举办国际展览和设计论坛，为本地及国际设计师提供展示平台，推动了邓迪在全球文化创意产业中的影响力。

在可持续设计方面，邓迪也取得了显著进展。邓迪增加自行车设施、改善步行系统和优化公共空间设计，并鼓励居民参与社区活动和文化项目，提升了城市的宜居性和居民的生活质量。此外，数字技术和服务设计的引入使邓迪的设计产业更加紧密地与现代科技融合，推动了智慧城市的发展。

在文化创意产业的创新方面，“创意邓迪”机构发挥了关键作用，如资助本地艺术家、组织设计节等活动，将创意成果与市场需求对接，形成文化与经济相互促进的良性循环；而且，邓迪每年举办设计月活动，以此吸引民众参与、激发创意力和关注城市设计。

综上，通过将设计思维与数字科技、文化创意、教育和城市可持续发展相结合，邓迪形成了独特的产业创新模式。
