    THE RISE OF INNOVATION DISTRICTS: A New Geography Of Innovation In America Bruce Katz and Julie Wagner S THE UNITED STATES SLOWLY EMERGES FROM THE GREAT RECES- SION, A REMARKABLE SHIFT IS OCCURRING IN THE SPATIAL GEOG- ARAPHY OF INNOVATION. FOR THE PAST 50 YEARS, THE LANDSCAPE OF INNOVATION HAS BEEN DOMINATED BY PLACES LIKE SILICON VALLEY—SUBURBAN CORRIDORS OF SPATIALLY ISOLATED CORPORATE CAMPUSES, ACCESSIBLE ONLY BY CAR, WITH LITTLE EMPHASIS ON THE QUALITY OF LIFE OR ON INTEGRATING WORK, HOUSING AND RECREATION. A new complementary urban model is now emerging, giving rise to what we and others are calling “innovation districts.” These dis- tricts, by our definition, are geographic areas where leading-edge anchor institutions and companies cluster and connect with start- ups, business incubators and accelerators.1 They are also physically compact, transit-accessible, and technically-wired and offer mixed- use housing, office, and retail. Innovation districts are the manifestation of mega-trends altering the location preferences of people and firms and, in the process, re-conceiving the very link between economy shaping, place mak- ing and social networking.2 Our most creative institutions, firms and workers crave proximity so that ideas and knowledge can be transferred more quickly and seamlessly. Our “open innovation” economy rewards collaboration, transforming how buildings and entire districts are designed and spatially arrayed. Our diverse population demands more and better choices of where to live, work and play, fueling demand for more walkable neighborhoods where housing, jobs and amenities intermix. — Cover: The geography of Bar- celona’s innovation dis- Led by an eclectic group of institutions and leaders, innovation trict, highlighted in blue, districts are emerging in dozens of cities and metropolitan areas in is located in the heart of the United States and abroad and already reflect distinctive ty- the city.

Nussdorf Professor of Urban Research Department of City and Regional Planning School of Design Co-Director, Penn Institute for Urban Research University of Pennsylvania Contact Information: [email protected] Understanding our cities…. Understanding our world From Science Parks to Innovation Districts 2 Introduction Research and development (R&D) drives advanced economies worldwide. It is this that provides the foundation for the new knowledge, products, and processes that, in turn, become new industries, create jobs and serve as the source of economic growth. Key areas for R&D are in what is called the knowledge and technology industries (KTI) that consist of high technology manufacturing (e.g. aircraft, spacecraft, pharmaceuticals) and knowledge-intensive services (commercial business, financial and communication services). KTI, which account f or 27% of the worldwide Gross Domestic Product (GDP), are extremely important to the United States, in particular, representing 40% of the U.S. GDP. In fact, the U.S is the world’s largest KTI producer – contributing 27% of the total HT manufacturing and 32% of the KI services.1 In order to grow and maintain these positions, the United States, like its peers in Europe and Asia who are also large contributors, has built an extensive R&D infrastructure composed of three strong players: the private sector, the public sector and universities. In terms of expenditures and numbers of employees, the private sector dominates the R&D enterprise, but the university sector, largely funded by the US government, is also an important component both directly and indirectly.

    1 WELCOME TO POMPANO BEACH 2 FLORIDA’S WARMEST WELCOME 3 LOCATION 01 CENTRALITY AND ACCESSIBILITY PALM BEACH POMPANO BEACH MIAMI Centrally located between Palm Beach and Miami, Pompano Beach is often called "the Heart of the Gold Coast”. A MAJOR TRANSFORMATION 4 Trend-setting cities around the globe are creating Innovation Districts transforming underutilized swaths of land into dynamic areas full of corporate sophistication, startup edginess, walkable communities, trendy restaurants, hip housing and cultural clusters. Successful in cities from Barcelona to Boston, the trend is now emerging in smaller communities. However, this model is one that the Pompano Beach Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) has long embraced. And now, thanks to the joint efforts of the City and the CRA, Pompano Beach is becoming a hot spot for current and new residents alike to live, work and play. For years, innovation occurred in sprawling corporate campuses that were isolated from one another. But now innovation emerges from a mash-up of ideologies where people can co-invent, co-produce and stay connected to all of the dynamic energy located in close proximity. Designed by concentrating daytime and nighttime economic uses with a dense residential component, these districts foster heightened interaction and collaboration. 5 DEMOGRAPHICS & FACTS POMPANO BEACH OFFERS 6 Proximity to Interstate-95, Tri-Rail, FEC Corridor, three international airports, and two major seaports More than 30 million sq/ft of industrial/storage/distribution space Center of the “Internet

Leveraging Fremont’s business community as well as their own professional network, The Luttrell Collective assembled a diverse group of Bay Area participants to engage in a grand experiment—an Ecosystem Laboratory—to design and envision the future of Fremont’s emerging Innovation District. With a greenfield of promise for new public-private partnerships inspiring economic growth in the Bay Area in advanced manufacturing, clean technologies, biomedical and education, the City of Fremont is positioned to lead as a global innovation cluster. THE GRAND EXPERIMENT The Ecosystem Laboratory (EcoLab) brought together leaders from the community with the common interest in designing the next Silicon Valley by generating new thinking and practical, actionable next steps. Attendees included leaders, thinkers and doers across several industry sectors including: healthcare, retail, government, land developers, clean technology, education, biomedical device, advanced technology, entrepreneurs, social innovators and others from the emerging Fremont ecosystem.

They have, however, been criticized for contributing to gentrification, urban inequality, and other problems that hinder sustainability. There has been little research addressing how planners maintain economic sustain- ability and promote the social and environmental sustainability of innovation districts. This paper takes Hangzhou as a case study, using the policy zoning—a new zoning method based on suitability evaluation—to formulate the applicable place plan for building innovation districts. The results show that the policy zoning can help planners arrange the construction of innovation districts in certain urban areas and take the most targeted measures to improve the sustainability of possible innovation districts. These measures include either enhancing the foundations of the metropolitan area or promoting innovation development by referring to suitability evaluation results. Planning Citation: Wang, J.; Tong, C.; Hu, X. based on policy zoning is of benefit to the sustainability of innovation districts through avoiding the Policy Zoning Method for Innovation impulsive behavior of policymakers, as well as promoting the better distribution of development Districts to Sustainably Develop the achievements among the people, rather than concentrating on land developers and stakeholders who Knowledge-Economy: A Case Study in Hangzhou, China.
