Knowledge Neighbourhoods: Urban Form and Evolutionary Economic Geography

Abstract: SPENCER G. M. Knowledge neighbourhoods: urban form and evolutionary economic geography, Regional Studies. This paper examines connections between the urban form of neighbourhoods in relation to the evolutionary economic geography of knowledge-intensive industries. The data presented show that firms in 'creative' industries tend to be located in dense, mixed-use neighbourhoods near the city core, while 'science-based' industries tend to be concentrated in low-density, single-use neighbourhoods in the suburbs.

“…This codified knowledge might be easily disseminated by 'global pipelines', which create openness to the outside world, i.e., with selected providers outside the local milieu [30]. These experiments may flourish in a habitat with science-based innovations [31], in a region with a particular technological specialization. Experiments for social innovation produce mainly tacit knowledge.…”

“…Por lo tanto, las principales características que definen a los barrios creativos según Spencer (2015), expuestas en el apartado anterior, se concitan en el caso del Oeste: proximidad al centro funcional y patrimonial de Salamanca, entramado compacto de calles, densidad demográfica, diversidad de actividades económicas (sin presencia de franquicias comerciales ni hosteleras, por cierto), fácil acceso a pie o en transporte público gracias a las importantes avenidas que lo demarcan, además de la cercanía de la estación de autobuses, del hospital privado de la Santísima Trinidad y de los distintos campus universitarios. Sobre estas bases urbanas, los actores locales han impulsado una serie de transformaciones que se exponen a continuación.…”

“…UNA PROPUESTA INTERPRETATIVA SOBRE EL NUEVO BARRIO DEL OESTE Voluntad transformadora, organización en red, innovación social y sinergia local se conjugan en el barrio del Oeste, que puede por tanto ser calificado como espacio urbano alternativo, del mismo modo que guarda semejanzas patentes con el patrón urbano del barrio creativo definido por Spencer (2015). Como se señalaba en el primer apartado, el estudio de un vecindario ha puesto de relieve que la proximidad geográfica, incluso la congestión física, ha desencadenado un movimiento de reivindicación vecinal capaz de perfilar una identidad que se concreta en la paulatina aparición de propuestas y prác-ticas económicas sensibles al bienestar de la comunidad.…”

“…An important conclusion is that cities tend to follow the same knowledge specializations over time and that diversification to new and related technologies takes place very slowly. SPENCER (2015) shows that the spatial scale of interactions between firms varies greatly between different types of knowledge-intensive industry. Firms in creative industries are far more likely to be located in dense mixed-use neighbourhoods near the city core than science-based industries, which tend to be concentrated in low-density suburbs.…”
