Urban High-Technology Zones

Development for Smart Cities offers essential planning insights for our increasingly high-tech economy and society.

High-Technology Zones: Urban Planning and Economic Development for Smart Cities looks at the role the built environment plays, the policy factors that contribute to their formation and growth, and quality-of-life impacts of high tech clusters on their surrounding communities. Using a combination of advanced geospatial data-driven techniques with evidence-based insights, the book provides quantitative measures on high tech cluster's social, environmental, and economic impacts.

While the findings are from drawn cities in the US, the book's spatial analyses, methodology, research conclusions and literature reviews are generalizable to cities around the world. High-Technology Zones: Urban Planning and Economic Development for Smart Cities provides numerous insights and guidance on the role high-tech clusters play in cities reaching their economic, growth, and social equity goals, making it a useful resource for academic research and policy guidance.
