*Book abstract*

This book is the first installment of a trilogy that explores the 
spatial dimensions of music. Music has generated substantial interest 
among geographers, but other academic disciplines have also developed 
related spatial perspectives on music. This trilogy brings together 
multiple approaches, each book investigating a bundle of interrelated 
themes. /New Geographies of Music 1: Urban Policies, Live Music, and 
Careers in a Changing Industry/ starts with an introduction that 
explores contemporary approaches to the study of popular music. The 
following chapters address a range of issues, including the role of live 
music in urban development, how knowledge about local music ecosystems 
circulates among cities, urban networks of music production, how musical 
practices in local scenes are affected by core-periphery relations, and 
how musicians rely on touring in order to earn a living. This is a 
must-read for anyone interested in the relationship between space and music.
