Innovative Environments: Concept and Application

Marc-Urbain Proulx

Chapter 7 in Regional Science: Perspectives for the Future, 1997, pp 88-107 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Even though the term ‘environment’ has been used for a long time by the natural sciences and in the area of community development, several social science analysts have given it a wide audience since the 1970s. The concept has acquired pertinent multi-disciplinary conceptual elements. In addition, the empirical research has generated numerous facts that allow the anchoring and measuring of many variables of the environment. At the turn of the 1990s, the results accumulated from the research of Aydalot (1986), Aydalot and Keeble (1988), RIPME (1989), RERU (1991), Benko and Lipietz (1992), Maillat and Perrin (1992), Ratti (1992), RCSR (1992) and Maillat et al. (1993), with other works by GREMI,1 formed a corpus that was sufficiently important to allow us to formulate a theory on environments2 (milieux in French) that we sometimes quality as local, regional, entrepreneurial, fertile and so on — i.e. generally innovative.
