This book questions the way contemporary innovation processes
develop and become embedded in territories. It analyses recent
developments in territorial systems of production, networks of
innovation and innovative milieus, with regard to the issue of
sustainable development. Drawing on 12 case studies aimed at
fostering sustainable development and conducted by an experienced
team of international scholars, a new conceptual approach to
sustainable innovation is proposed. More broadly, it also
reassesses the development models proposed in the 1980s that
emerged in the context of globalisation, competitiveness and
technological innovation. The book argues that a rethink of
regional development dynamics is necessary in order to properly
consider current sustainable development requirements. A renewed
understanding of the dynamics of actors and anchoring factors is
pursued, clarifying the role of territories in the light of
sustainable development demands and globalization processes. A new
typology of organizational forms of sustainable innovation is
provided and the traditional concept of 'innovative milieu' is
challenged. The contributions call for a rethink and redesign of
public policies in the fields of sustainable innovation more able
to deal with contemporary realities. Crossing a wide set of
disciplines, this book will appeal to academics, students and
policy makers in the fields of urban studies, regional development,
innovation and sustainable development. Contributors include: P.
