Following the increasing attention that has been payed to the study of the cultural industries in the last years, this paper attempts to look at the present situation of cultural industries in the Lisbon Metropolitan Area, as well as to the main trends of its evolution during the 90s. Two main conclusions emerged from the analysis made. Firstly, we concluded that cultural industries are steadily increasing, showing growing rates above the AML average. Secondly, a high degree of spatial concentration of activities and jobs could also be observed, having as its main focus the municipality of Lisbon. In spite of the pattern shaped by the location of cultural industries, one of the most important trends of this sector in the last years has been the deconcentration of activities, with the development of different specialisations in peripheral areas. Their implications on the urban policies are analysed in the last section of this paper
