This research is conducted under the department of Management in the Built Environment together with OTB (Research for the Built Environment), Delft University of Technology. This report gains insight of the management of attraction and retention of startups in the urban innovation districts (UIDs). After the theoretical research on framework of attraction and retention of startups and empirical research conducted in the Merwe-Vierhavens (M4H) in Rotterdam, the advice to M4H is proposed. I hope the result of this report can help managers of M4H as well as Municipality and Port of Rotterdam to improve their management of attracting and retaining startups.

  • Local Roles in Cultivating a Small Business and Entrepreneurial Culture
    Local Roles in Cultivating a Small Business and Entrepreneurial Culture by Christiana K. McFarland and J. Katie McConnell National League of Cities Center for Research and Innovation For the "Small Business and Entrepreneurship during an Economic Recovery" Conference sponsored by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta, and the Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation Washington, D.C. November 9, 2011 DRAFT- DO NOT CITE WITHOUT AUTHORS’ PERMISSION - 1 - The authors would like to thank the following individuals for their contributions to the case studies presented in this paper: Richard Conlin, Council President, City of Seattle, Wash. Susan Elsbree, Director of Communications, Boston Redevelopment Authority Dale Goter, Government Relations Director, City of Wichita, Kan. Karyn Page, President and CEO, Kansas World Trade Center, Wichita, Kan. Steve Page, Director, Seattle Office of Economic Development Brian Surratt, Business Development Director, Seattle Office of Economic Development Fatima Shama, Commissioner, Mayor‟s Office of Immigrant Affairs, New York City - 2 - I. Introduction Local officials widely recognize that economic competitiveness is contingent upon a strong and growing entrepreneurial and small business community. This is particularly relevant given the national dialogue promoting entrepreneurs and small businesses as key drivers of economic recovery. In order for these businesses to thrive, however, they need a place, or local culture, that does not create barriers and is supportive of their development. While local governments do not necessarily create new businesses, their programs and policies heavily influence this local culture. Building on previous survey research and in-depth field work, we develop a framework to begin to understand and define the underlying characteristics of local efforts supportive of a small business and entrepreneurial culture.

    Massachusetts Turnpike Boston Ramps and Bowker Overpass Study December 2015 Chapter 4—Project Alternatives: Massachusetts Turnpike Ramps 4.1 INTRODUCTION This chapter describes four new ramp alternatives on the Massachusetts Turnpike Extension in Boston’s Back Bay that were developed to meet three of the study’s goals: • Reduce traffic within the study area on the arterials and local streets. • Improve highway connections between Back Bay and crucial locations to the east, including but not limited to the Seaport District and Logan Airport. • Improve regional highway connections to the Longwood Medical Area (LMA) without having an impact on local roads. 4.2 DEVELOPMENT OF RAMP ALTERNATIVES In response to the need for improved roadway connections between the Back Bay and areas to the east, legislation was authorized in 1995 that directed the Massachusetts Turnpike Authority (now folded into the Massachusetts Department of Transportation [MassDOT]), the Boston Transportation Department (BTD), and the Boston Redevelopment Authority (BRA) to conduct a joint study to provide an eastbound on-ramp and/or a westbound off-ramp on the Massachusetts Turnpike Extension between Chinatown and the Fenway area. The result of this legislation was the Boston Extension Ramps Feasibility Study, which was released in 1997. The purpose of this study was to determine the feasibility of adding an additional ramp or ramps to the Massachusetts Turnpike Extension in order to provide improved access between the Back Bay and Logan Airport and the emerging commercial area in the Seaport District. The eight alternatives that were developed as part of this study are detailed below; four of them were chosen to be defined in further detail in this chapter: 4.2.1 Alternative 1 – Arlington Street Eastbound On-Ramp The Arlington Street on-ramp alignment would begin at the Arlington Street/Tremont Street intersection, parallel Herald Street, and merge with the Boston Extension of the Massachusetts Turnpike just west of the South Bay interchange.
