High and New Technology Industrial Development Zones

Chapter 8 in China’s Transition to a Global Economy, 2002, pp 168-190 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Across the world during the past quarter century, various types of technopoles have been built, seeking to hitch growth to technical innovation. The images and ideology of high-technology are popular elements of regional policy in many countries. Hundreds of regions in the world have dreamed of becoming the next Silicon Valley. While some technopoles undeniably sustained growth, as Castells and Hall (1994) noted, the world is now littered with the ruins of all too many such dreams that have failed, or have cost far too much.
