Abstract
This chapter analyzes the status of the development of Shenzhen creative industry sites in the context of the period of industrial restructuring and urban regeneration and renewal and summarizes the transformation and development process of former manufacturing sites as a physical carrier of creative industries, such as OCT, Tianmian “City of Design,” and Shekou “Nanhaiyiku.” The spaces serve as production space not only for creative and design-related uses but also for design display and consumption space. The chapter will reveal how those spaces are “produced” and used and how, in the process of transformation and development, the production regimes work properly, based on the relative government policies, laws and regulations, the scheme of city development, and the support of special funding. At the same time, the success of having created immense social and commercial benefits from transforming former manufacturing sites to creative industry sites is a triumph in Shenzhen, even in the whole country.
