Abstract: This paper puts forward a conceptual framework to analyse emergence and the development of planned knowledge locations in cities (science and technology parks, creative factories, knowledge hubs, etc.). It argues that the study and the practice of developing these precincts can benefit from explicitly considering the broader territorial context, the time dynamics and the co-evolutionary processes through which they unfold. The advantages of such as framework are illustrated with the support of two European knowledge locations: Arabianranta (Helsinki, Finland) and Biocant (Cantanhede, Portugal).

Keywords: knowledge locations; science parks; co-evolution; knowledge precincts; Arabianranta; Biocant; location planning; cities; urban locations; science and technology parks; creative factories; knowledge hubs; Finland; Portugal. (search for similar items in EconPapers)
