A developmental network city? Double embeddedness in New York

Michael Indergaard

Cambridge Journal of Regions, Economy and Society, 2019, vol. 12, issue 3, 385-399

Abstract: This article develops the concept of the “developmental network city” (DNC) to link the literatures on neo-developmental states and urban economic innovation. Applying the developmental network state (DNS) model to the case of New York City, it shows how the American DNS contributed to the rise of a New York DNC, which features localised discovery and governance. Most important here was that New York’s developmental agencies created a knowledge economy alternative to the “global financial centre” path by selectively adapting DNS ideas and resources to fit the city’s landscape of applied innovation.
