Paper Abstract:
|
Knowledge based urban development (KBUD), an offspring of Knowledge Societies, considers the transformation of knowledge resources into local development. Spatial configuration is not considered within the four development domains that are the key pillars of KBUD: economy, society, environment and management. This reflection paper has the aim to analyze what are the repercussions of not considering spatiality within its domains. By focusing on knowledge clusters, KBUD contributes to the marginalization of areas in Knowledge cities. Exurbia is one such area, which if considered physically and metaphorically, is in a liminal state, a zone of transition, in which knowledge plays no role. The paper concludes that KBUD should acknowledge areas as these, which in turn could leverage the homogenizing gaze it imposes and contribute to knowledge construction and exchange. |
