Six years of UNESCO-World Technopolis Association workshops, held at various world cities and attended by government officials and scholars from nearly all the world's countries, have resulted in a uniquely complete collection of reports on science park and science city projects in most of those countries. These reports, of which a selected few form chapters in this book, allow readers to compare knowledge-based development strategies, practices, and successes across countries. The chapters illustrate varying levels of cooperation across government, industry, and academic sectors in the respective projects - and the reasons and philosophies underlying this variation - and resulting differences in practices and results.

Industry Reviews

"Technopolis - Best Practices for Science and Technology in Cities is a comprehensive study and summary for understanding how science parks and technology clusters are developed. ... this book includes valuable information, experience and knowledge that will likely be very helpful to readers involved in these kinds of efforts. The book is well documented with graphics to explain and accompany the text. University researchers, incubator and commercialization professionals would benefit from reading this book. Highly recommended." (Jeff Thurston, 3dvisworld.com, April, 2015)
