中文摘要：

本文将网络思想及其社会网络分析技术和软件引入到大学、文化产业与创意城市的讨论议题中，通过选取对深圳“设计之都”的形成产生重要作用的关键行动者——深圳市平面设计协会（SGDA）——1992～2011年编录的大事记，作为量化分析的数据来源，运用UCINET软件，将深圳平面设计行业发展进程的行动者网络及其地理网络可视化，并进行相关网络指标分析。结果表明：大学和科研机构是深圳平面设计行业、深圳“设计之都”建设的重要参与者，不过，这些大学和科研机构并非立足于深圳本地，而多来自于其他城市或国家；此外，大学相对于政府、业内人士等行动主体而言，其作用主要是边缘性的、被动性的参与。文章最后初步探讨了这一发现对于理解大学、文化与城市的关系以及未来进一步研究的意义。

英文摘要：

Drawing upon the thought of network and relationalism of sociology, this paper attempts to explore the relationship between the university, cultural industries, and creative city in an empirical way based on the method of social network analysis and UCINET software. For this purpose, the authors use the chronicle of events （1992--2001） created by Shenzhen Graphic Design Association （SGDA） that has been a very important actor in the development of Shenzhen＇s design industry and for Shenzhen winning the title of ＂City of Design＂ in the program of global creative city network. The main findings indicate that universities are significant players in the development of ＂City of Design＂, while most of those universities are not local. Furthermore, compared with other actors such as the government and the professionals, universities are mainly passively involved in the design industry without a significant role of being a middleman or a bridge connecting other actors in the network. The paper finally discusses the significance of the findingsto the current understanding of the relationship between university, culture, and city as well as that for further studies in the future.
