Samenvatting

Many cities around the world are seeking an enhanced presence of the emerging innovation economy in order to grow a new base of jobs, adjust to industrial change, or leverage technology to address sustainability, resilience,and social cohesion. In the current cycle, cities are focusing investment and promotion on new ‘innovation districts’, locations within the city where the innovation economy may develop and expand. However, not all cities have the endowment, ecosystem, or expertise to host them.
