摘要

This special issue of the International Journal of Knowledge-based Development is devoted to analyses of spatial and regional foundations underlying K.BD in the international context. One of the main motivators for this special issue is its aim to integrate elements of spatial analysis into knowledge-based development theory. In spatial research, Graham and Marvin (1996) produced one of the first extensive accounts of city technology relations that embed key elements of the development of human interaction in urban contexts. Their approach stressed the importance of information and communication technologies in the spatial structuring and development of cities.
