perspectives and relationships to place Unique contributions on the
topics of connected cities and zombie suburbs

The world has changed profoundly since the publication of the
influential book Technopoles of the World. As policy-makers and
practitioners attempt to harness science, technology and innovation
to create dynamic and vibrant cities many wonder how relevant
Manuel Castells and Peter Hall's messages are today. Twenty years
later, this book returns to their concepts and practices to update
their message for the 21st century. Making 21st Century Knowledge
Complexes: Technopoles of the World Revisited argues that the
contemporary technopole concept encompasses three new dimensions.
Firstly, building synergy between partners is vital for the success
of complexes. Secondly, the correct governance arrangements are
critical to balance competing interests inevitable in any science
city project. Thirdly, new evaluation mechanisms are indispensable
in allowing policy-makers to steer their long-term benefits.
Through twelve case study chapters and a detailed comparative
analysis, this book provides academics, policy-makers and
practitioners with critical insights in understanding, managing and
promoting today's high-technology urban complexes.

Despite the combined efforts of British planners, politicians, the
public and interest groups, the 'Solent City' stands as one of a
number of instances of a peculiar instance of urban sprawl --
muted, and slow to emerge -- yet produced paradoxically by very
strong interests in promoting conservation and restraint. This
unique and valuable case study, while focusing on the planning and
development of South Hampshire in particular, enables an in-depth
study of the issues surrounding planning strategies with regards to
growing populations.

This book examines the role of the multinational firms in processes
of European integration. It is primarily concerned with the
implications of market integration and industrial restructuring for
peripheral European regions.
Nicholas Phelps argues that, because of the complex relationship
between competition and economies of scale, the persistence of
market segmentation, and because of the embeddedness of
multinational investment in established production locations, there
is considerable inertia in the existing trade and investment
patterns of multinationals in the EU. This argument is explored
empirically in relation to multinationals operating in Wales. This
study suggests that processes of restructuring accompanying market
integration are slow to take effect and based on a diversity of
motives.

Post-suburbia is a term that encapsulates a variety of contemporary
urban forms, in particular the 'edge city' - a term used to
describe the rapid growth of new urban centres at the edges of
established major cities. Widely discussed in the US, very little
has been written about European edge cities and this book provides
a comparative analysis of examples in Greece, Spain, Paris, Finland
and the UK, offering a theoretical analysis of the edge city and of
post-suburban Europe.
