Networks are essential to mobility - mobility of people, goods,
services, communications, and knowledge. The 21st century knowledge
economy is dependent upon knowledge mobility and flows. Knowledge
networks build upon, but are more complex than, traditional
networks. While the network science literature is a starting point,
it is not sufficient for modelling or managing knowledge networks.
Knowledge networks pay greater attention to nodes as knowledge
sources, links as relationships, and the knowledge content of
messages. Knowledge Networks describes the role of networks in the
knowledge economy, explains network structures and behaviors, walks
the reader through the design and setup of knowledge network
analyses, and offers a step by step methodology for conducting a
knowledge network analysis. Bedford and Sanchez bridge the academic
and business perspective of networks. This book illustrates the
role of human and non-human actors in these evolving networks, and
describes the emerging nature of networks of machines and things.
Knowledge Networks is essential reading for business managers,
knowledge managers, network analysts, consultants, and researchers
in knowledge transfer and translation.
The field of urban planning is far-reaching in breadth and depth.
This is due to the complex nature of cities, regions, and
development processes. The knowledge domain of planning includes
social, economic, technological, environmental, and political
systems that continue to evolve and expand rapidly. Understanding
these systems is an inter-disciplinary endeavor at the scale of
several academic fields. The wide range of topics considered by
planning educators and practitioners are often based on varying
definitions of "planning" and modes of planning practice. This
unique book discusses various elements and contributions to urban
planning research to show that seemingly disparate topics do in
fact intersect and together, contribute to ways of understanding
urban planning. The objective is not to discuss how to "do"
research, but rather, to explore the context of urban planning
scholarship with implications for the planning academy and planning
practice. This edited volume includes chapters contributed by a
diverse range of planning scholars who consider the corpus of
planning scholarship both historically and critically in their area
of expertise. It is essential reading for students of planning
research and planning theory from around the world.
