Chapter Chapter 5 in Technology and Industrial Parks in Emerging Countries, 2014, pp 29-58 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract The emerging world has recently witnessed a surge in its number of technology and industrial parks. The recent influx of parks throughout countries in Latin America, Asia, the Middle East, and Africa, is often being conducted in environments far removed from the ideal, industrialised settings in which they were pioneered. The objective of this chapter is to, first, take stock of park developments in emerging countries, and second, to discuss the evolution of these parks over the last few decades. Building on the work of Rodríguez-Pose (2012) on technology parks in Latin America, we compile novel maps of technology parks in each of the emerging countries studied, and highlight the key features of each nation’s progress with parks. We specifically focus on the role of governments, universities, and location in how parks have developed. The objective is to illustrate the diverse contexts where technology and industrial parks are being established, setting the scene for the subsequent in-depth analysis.
