How to create cultural clusters in historical regions Is there a way of attempting to stabilize economy by making a cultural cluster in a historical city? This is the central question in my thesis. The cluster theory has influenced many sectors around the world. Firenze has been chosen as study case because the city is a good representative of a historical region. Additionally, the region’s system of industrial area is closer to a cluster system. Therefore, we can look into the shape of the cultural cluster in historical regions and their characteristic by analyzing Firenze’s industrial area. This analysis will be also applied to Gyeongju’s cultural cluster. Keywords: Cultural cluster, cluster, Firenze, Gyeongju, historical regions
