In recent decades urban regions around the world have engaged in a
new process of development based on the creation of new knowledge.
Amidst the globalization of economic activities and the arrival of
transformative technologies, knowledge has become the key driver of
competitiveness and is profoundly reshaping the patterns of
economic growth and activity. This book offers a comprehensive new
model of the rise of a Knowledge Economy and its evolutionary
development in the Megalopolis. These regions are developing new
institutions and governance mechanisms to adapt, disseminate, and
utilize available knowledge to promote continuing development of
their Knowledge Economies. However, such developments are
accompanied by increasing inequalities in incomes and in urban
services. This book examines the resilience of some urban regions
and their recent emergence as vibrant Knowledge Economies. It also
reviews the recent renewal and growth in the Megalopolis--
stretching along the Atlantic Seaboard along the metropolitan areas
of Boston, New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore and Washington DC.
This book will appeal to researchers and professionals interested
in urban and regional development, and to business groups
interested in economic development.
