Abstract Does a high-tech economy create fundamentally different places to other employment areas? This paper proposes a typology of small to medium scale high technology districts in terms of their physical environments rather than their economic features (which is the more common basis of such classifications). It defines a set of recognizable high tech places: corridors, clumps, cores, comprehensive campuses, tech subdivisions, and scattered tech sites.

  • Unlocking the Potential of Kansai Companies
    Unlocking the potential of Kansai companies McKinsey Japan Kansai Office June 2018 Authored by: André Andonian Motohiro Hojo Raymond Chan Daruma dolls at Katsuo-ji temple, Osaka. The script character on the dolls means “victory” in Japanese. Unlocking the potential of Kansai companies Preface The world is now facing change on a scale surpassing that of the Industrial Revolution. Today, such change is driven by several disruptive forces, including the growth of emerging economies, the disruptive evolution of technology, the increasing interconnectedness of the global economy, and the aging of populations across the world. One intriguing phenomenon leading from these forces, especially as economies and markets around the world grow more tightly linked, is the gradual rise in importance of regions and cities rather than countries. In other words, regional and metropolitan attractiveness and competitiveness today hold increasingly greater sway than do the countries containing those regions and cities. What does this mean for Kansai? Fundamentally, Kansai leaders need to consider both the sustainable growth of the region as well as the international competitiveness of its cities. They should consider how Kansai can evolve, using its historical, cultural, academic, and infrastructural advantages to create a grand vision for the future, and make the bold moves required to achieve that vision. A worthy vision for the public sector and infrastructure related sectors, such as electricity, gas, transit, construction, telecommunications, and broadcasting, could be to establish a region that enables sustainable lifestyles, leading to improved core competitiveness and attractiveness throughout the region. The manufacturing and service sectors, by contrast, could focus on a vision grounded in global competitiveness, achieved by undertaking organizational transformations, productivity improvements, and growth investments in innovation and M&A.

Cette thèse propose d’analyser l’émergence de cette entité régionale et de son discours culturel dans le but de pallier le manque de recherches antérieures sur la diversité socioculturelle et le régionalisme au Japon. Il y existe, d’une part, une volonté de considérer le Japon comme une entité homogène, et d’autre part, un contexte dans lequel le Japon lui-même prône l’homogénéité de son peuple. Historiquement, ces énoncés ont été réfutés à plusieurs reprises par différents chercheurs et organismes. Entre-temps, sur le plan régional, la diversité devient de moins en moins clairement observable dû à l’urbanisation, aux moyens de transport, à la migration interne et au développement des médias de masse. Cette situation à l'époque post-industrielle a engendré aujourd’hui le discours régionaliste du Kansaï.

One of the characteristic features of modern cities is the multitude of network­type relations resulting from the nature of the information­based economy. Contemporary ideas about the city focus among others on the problems of sustainable development, ubiquity of information and communication technologies (ICT) and concentration of the creative class in innovative centres of services and industry. The article presents a number of practical implementations of the contemporary concepts of city development.
