Knowledge Cities are cities that possess an economy driven by high
value-added exports created through research, technology, and
brainpower. In other words, these are cities in which both the
private and the public sectors value knowledge, nurture knowledge,
spend money on supporting knowledge dissemination and discovery (ie
learning and innovation) and harness knowledge to create products
and services that add value and create wealth. Currently there are
65 urban development programs worldwide formally designated as
"knowledge cities." Knowledge-based cities fall under a new area of
academic research entitled Knowledge-Based Development, which
brings together research in urban development and urban studies and
planning with knowledge management and intellectual capital.
In this book, Francisco Javier Carillo of the Monterrey Institute
of Technology (ITESM) brings together a group of distinguished
scholars to outline the theory, development, and realities of
knowledge cities. Based on knowledge-based development, the book
shows how knowledge can be and is placed at the center of city
planning and economic development to enable knowledge flows and
innovation to provide a sustainable environment for high
value-added products and services.
*Well-respected editor brings together distinguished scholars to
outline cutting-edge area of research
*Interdisciplinary perspectives from urban studies and planning,
regional development, knowledge management and intellectual
capital
*Key benefit is the focus on knowledge in city design, development,
and management
