Revisiting Marshall's agglomeration economies : technological relatedness and the evolution of the Sheffield metals cluster
  • Revisiting Marshall's agglomeration economies : technological relatedness and the evolution of the Sheffield metals cluster
  • England ; Factory ; High technology ; Industrial cluster ; Industry ; Manpower ; Professional qualification ; Sheffield ; Specialization ; Technology ; United Kingdom
  • to become specialists in related metals technology. Second, it is found that plants using related metals technology source a greater proportion of their materials and components, by value, from local suppliers within the city-region. The results highlight

Technological capability, agglomeration economies and firm location choice
  • Technological capability, agglomeration economies and firm location choice
  • Firm ; Firm strategy ; Industrial sector ; Location ; South Korea ; Technology
  • This paper examines the technological capability, agglomeration economies and firm location. It founds that for firms with low technological capability knowledge externalities from co-located competitors, or competitive specialization, have
  • a stronger positive effect on their location choice, while for firms with high technological capability knowledge externalities from co-located firms from related and complementary industries, or complementary specialization, more strongly influence

Smart cities and green growth : outsourcing democratic and environmental resilience to the global technology sector
  • Smart cities and green growth : outsourcing democratic and environmental resilience to the global technology sector
  • Citizenship ; Climatic change ; England ; Infrastructure ; Outsourcing ; Participation ; Smart city ; Technology ; Telecommunications ; United Kingdom ; Urban area
  • This article examines smart cities and green growth though outsourcing democratic and environmental resilience to the global technology sector. Based on evidence from the cities of Manchester, Birmingham, and Glasgow, it is argued
  • that the strategies is to expand the market for new technology products and services to support ‘green growth’ with disregard for their wider impacts. It also explains that city systems become a digital marketplace where citizen-consumers’ participation
  • is increasingly involuntary and the hegemony of global technology firms is inflated. What follows is that the city’s ‘intelligent systems’ are defined through a digital consumer experience that has inherent biases and leaves parts of the city and its population

Under which conditions do technology intermediaries enhance firms' innovation speed? The Case of Belgium's collective research centres
  • Under which conditions do technology intermediaries enhance firms' innovation speed? The Case of Belgium's collective research centres
  • Belgium ; Brussels ; Firm ; Flanders ; Industrial sector ; Technology ; Wallonie
  • This research studies a specific type of technology intermediary, namely the collective research centres in Belgium, and assesses the conditions under which member firms working with these intermediaries experience acceleration additionality
  • . It is found that absorptive capacity of the member firm and the intensity of interaction are important drivers of innovation speed. Absorptive capacity at technology intermediary level is not found to affect member firm innovation speed. The research has

The Sydney Metropolitan Strategy as a zoning technology : analyzing the spatial and temporal dimensions of obsolescence
  • The Sydney Metropolitan Strategy as a zoning technology : analyzing the spatial and temporal dimensions of obsolescence
  • Australia ; Discourse ; Gentrification ; Housing estate ; Ideology ; New South Wales ; Real estate market ; Space time ; Sydney ; Technology ; Urban policy ; Zoning
  • On the basis of two discrete contributions to urban and spatial theory , the A. demonstrate how the Sydney metropolitan planning authority has deployed specific spatial and temporal ‘zoning technologies’ to demarcate and evaluate sections
  • of the city. The discourses of obsolescence that have emerged in Sydney are clearly informed by market-centric ideology and discursively constructed, not in the presence of an anemic state and a rational market, but as a technology of power that is deployed

The semantic production of space : pervasive computing and the urban landscape
  • Computing ; Information ; Social practice ; Technology ; Urban area ; Urban landscape ; Urban life
  • This paper suggests that as pervasive computing technologies have gained purchase in urban space they have also become more implicitly blended with everyday life and more contingent on information that is inductively compiled from Internet-based
  • into conversation in order to examine the consequences of a convergence between implicit pervasive technologies and the spaces of everyday life.

Waste not, want not? Evaluating the urban sustainability implications of centralized versus decentralized wastewater treatment in Tijuana, Mexico
  • Baja California ; Factory ; Mexico ; Sustainable development ; Technology ; Waste ; Water ; Water quality ; Water resources
  • This article compares two sustainable wastewater treatment technologies used in Tijuana to better understand their contributions to the city’s attempts to increase economic, social, and environmental sustainability. A sustainable indicator analysis
  • reveals that both facilities utilize water reuse technologies and support reforestation programs. While the smaller-scale, alternative plant makes important contributions to reforestation, slope stabilization, and community education programs, it lacks
  • the capacity and treatment standards of the large-scale, centralized plant to meet the current and future needs of Tijuana. However, it argues that if the final water quality produced by smaller-scale, alternative technologies can be improved, these types
