Knowledge in the region: Development based on tradition, culture and change

Ulrich Hilpert

European Planning Studies, 2005, vol. 14, issue 5, 581-599

Abstract: Regional development is characterized by different types of knowledge from science, tradition, culture, industrial application, etc. Some of this knowledge is from the individual region, some is brought into the region and others need to be built up to provide a new knowledge base. Socio-economic development refers to such sources and takes advantage of the different regional societies' orientations in constantly modernizing these competences. Since enterprises can make economic use of knowledge only when it is marketable, some sources of, for example, traditional knowledge need to be continued for future use. This is of public interest and demands particular policy design addressed to both knowledge keepers and users.
