In a period of increasing globalization and rapid growth in
emerging countries, recognizing sources of regional competitiveness
is of paramount importance. This timely and informative book
identifies and analyzes changes in the origins of regional
advantage. The expert contributors illustrate that sources of
regional competitiveness are strongly linked with spatially
observable yet increasingly flexible realities, and include
building advanced and efficient transport, communications and
energy networks, changing urban and rural landscapes, and creating
strategic and forward-looking competitiveness policies. They
investigate long-term interactions between regional competitiveness
and urban mobility, as well as the connections that link global
sustainability with local technological and institutional
innovations, and the intrinsic diversity of spatially rooted
innovation processes. A prospective analysis on networks and
innovation infrastructure is presented, global environmental issues
such as climate change and energy are explored, and new policy
perspectives - relevant world-wide - are prescribed. Networks,
Space and Competitiveness will prove an invaluable resource for
academics, students and researchers across a range of fields
including international and regional economics, regional science,
economic geography and international business. Contributors: C.R.
