At oxford Research we are looking into the emergence of innovation districts. What are they, how do they develop, how can we as policy makers and regional and city planners facilitate the growth of attractive, dynamic, livable and highly innovative urban spaces? This presentation takes you into some of the findings and learnings from our work with innovation districts, clusters, innovation systems and smart livable cities.
On June 9 in Washington, DC, the Metropolitan Policy Program at Brookings released “The Rise of Innovation Districts,” a report analyzing the new geography of innovation in America. The authors of the paper, Brookings Vice President Bruce Katz and Nonresident Senior Fellow Julie Wagner, were joined by leaders from emerging innovation districts across the country to discuss this shift and provide guidance to U.S. metro areas on ways to harness its potential.
The report is available here: http://www.brookings.edu/about/programs/metro/innovation-districts
The geography of innovation is shifting and a new model for innovative growth is emerging. In contrast to suburban corridors of isolated corporate campuses, innovation districts combine research institutions, innovative firms and business incubators with the benefits of urban living. These districts have the unique potential to spur productive, sustainable, and inclusive economic development.
On September 9, 2014, Brookings Vice President Bruce Katz presented a keynote to the San Francisco Chamber of Commerce's annual ForeCast SF event.

Smart Cities - Why they're not working for us yet.Rick Robinson
My presentation to the April 2016 Eurocities Knowledge Sharing Forum in Rennes. My focus was on describing Smart Cities as an economic and political challenge; and exploring the policy mechanisms that could be used to incentivise private sector investments in business and technology to support local social, economic and environmental outcomes.

User behavior model & recommendation on basis of social networks Shah Alam Sabuj
At present social networks play an important role to express people's sentiment and interest in a particular field. Extracting a user's public social network data (what the user shares with friends and relatives and how the user reacts over others' thought) means extracting the user's behavior. Defining some determined hypothesis if we make machine understand human sentiment and interest, it is possible to recommend a user about his/her personal interest on basis of the user's sentiment analyzed by machine. Our main approach is to suggest a user regarding the user's specific interest that is anticipated by analyzing the user's public data. This can be extended to further business analysis to suggest products or services of different companies depending on the consumer's personal choice. This automation will also help to choose the correct candidate for any questionnaire. This system will also help anyone to know about himself or herself, how one's behavior may influence others. It is possible to identify different types of people such as- dependable people, leadership skilled, people of supportive mentality, people of negative mentality etc.
the near future of tourism services based on digital tracesnicolas nova
Digital objects used by tourists such as mobile phones and cameras leave a large amount of traces. The phone can indeed be geolocated through cell-phone antennas or GPS and digital cameras take pictures that people can upload on web sharing platforms such as Flickr. All of this enable new application that allow to count tourists or provide them with new sorts of services. Based on existing experiments, the presentation will describe how the tourism industry can benefit from these digital traces to obtain new representations of tourists activities and to build up new services based on them

For my final year project I used data analysis techniques to investigate user behavior pattern recognition in respect of similar interests and culture versus offline geographical location. This was an out-of-the-box topic, which I selected due to my love on Data Analysis, in respect of the Social Network Analysis in the Internet era.

"... Caminante, son tus huellas el camino, y nada más; caminante, no hay camino, se hace camino al andar. Al andar se hace camino, y al volver la vista atrás se ve la senda que nunca se ha de volver a pisar. ...”
1. Preface
It is dawning on many of us that the current pace and direction of society is difficult to keep up for very long. When in the post-world-war period the pursuit of (individual) achievement seemed the key force of collective development, now the nature of the achievement is very much at the heart of our concerns. Sharing and respecting the environment, be it social, capital or natural, must now regain a central position in community management. Simultaneously the means available for this common task are more and more distributed. More than ever must one ask what one can do for the community, rather than what the community can do for us.
If this project can establish the relevance of the multidisciplinary approach to global sustainability, it will be succesful. All participants, and all of their partners, will be dealing with our subject hands on. This means, once again, to break out of conventional silos so that professionals with different expertise can share insights and work side by side for the common goal.
Once the individual participants of the project recognise the shared motivation, the matter can be improved, embodied and disseminated - through the work in progress and the distribution of the results. Everyone will have the occasion to relay the subject in new links with organisations and city councils on local level, bringing together the actors within a common framework. The nature of 'change management' will need the implication of key-stake-holders on a regional level. Developping and distributing tested contents will convince captains of governance and industry to support the agents of the new models. The rich and diverse context of european culture will be a favourable background for innovating community-management with the resilience of a hybrid multi-faceted approach. When we come out with a 'best-practice'-based toolbox, developed on field work, we will be ready to share the expertise, and promote this complementary and crucial frame of innovation.
2. Research Outcomes
This research report is part of the Erasmus + project. It is the result of the initial phase, and concentrates on the task of assessing the existing practices of the five partners. The results of the research is be the basis of the second and final phase - the Toolbox development. The Toolbox is destined to enable other individuals or groups to learn the basics of setting up multidisciplinary social entrepreneur clusters.

Organisations from five European countries have joined forces on a three year journey to share existing know-how and explore new practices related to coworking ecosystems. However, as with every journey, the project began with a period of reflection and preparation, an opportunity to learn new work languages, structures and methods: “Where have we come from?”, “Where are we going?”, “What should be taken forward?”. In addition there were specific questions and discussions on the meanings behind our coworking ecosystems themes, namely multidisciplinary coworking, local partnerships, ecological transition, participatory governance and social entrepreneurship. This report provides the history of our preparation for constructing a coworking toolbox. It focuses on the wealth of local background material unearthed by the partners and, by identifying the most relevant points, helps explain how the map to guide our journey began to take shape.
The information you are about to discover will help explain why we believe that coworking and the creation of multidisciplinary creative clusters (also known as ecosystems or the Third Place) provide an innovative approach for European entrepreneurs and professionals to work collaboratively through improved communication and networking, in order to create new economic opportunities and benefit society.

Russian anarchist and anti-war movement in the third year of full-scale warAntti Rautiainen
Anarchist group ANA Regensburg hosted my online-presentation on 16th of May 2024, in which I discussed tactics of anti-war activism in Russia, and reasons why the anti-war movement has not been able to make an impact to change the course of events yet. Cases of anarchists repressed for anti-war activities are presented, as well as strategies of support for political prisoners, and modest successes in supporting their struggles.

Innovation districts and their impact on urban and regional devlopment
1. Innovations Districts and the New Geography
of Innovation and Competitiveness
Presentation by Jakob Stoumann, Managing Director Oxford Research
2. 2

We are a specialised strategic consultancy
company combing academic depth,
excellent communication and strategic
understanding.

York .
3. Shortly about me and my way
into ‘innovation districts’
Knowledge and experience from working
more than a decade with regional
development,
innovations systems & RDI programmes,
cluster development, attraction and
retention of investments, businesses and
talents…
Adding personal experience in urban design
and physical planning and anthropological
approaches…
Innovation Districts
Managing Director Oxford Research
4. Before taking you into ‘innovation districts...’
...let’s start with the beginning
6. In a time where we are told that tehcnology increasingly makes
place less important.....
7.
8. ... and people, firms, and wealth do seem to concentrate in still
fewer geographical places.....
9. Some cities, areas, and districts seems to thrive and constantly
be on top of innovation and attractiveness....
They are good at reinventing themselves and seems to fastly
adapt to new trends and realities.
16. And real estate agencies report taht huge parking spaces,
plenty of cheap suburbian space, and proxitimity to main
roads are getting weak selling points...
17. A remarkable shift is occurring in the spatial geography
of innovation…
“For the past 50 years, the landscape of innovation has been dominated by suburban corridors of
spatially isolated corporate campuses, accessible only by car, with little emphasis on the quality
of life or on integrating work, housing and recreation…
… A new complementary urban model is now emerging, giving rise to what we and others are
calling “innovation districts.” - Bruce Katz & Julie Wagner
18. Innovation districts – what they are?
The trend is to nurture living,
breathing communities rather
than sterile remote, compounds
of research silos.”
– Pete Engardio, “Research Parks for the
Knowledge Economy,” Bloomberg Businessweek
Innovations districts are
geographic areas where
leading-edge anchor institutions
and companies cluster and
connect with start-ups, business
incubators and accelerators.
They are also physically
compact, transit-accessible, and
technically-wired and offer
mixed-use housing, office, and
retail.
- Bruce Katz, Brookings Institute
20. Innovation districts – what they are made of
Economic assets consist of three categories
1. Innovation drivers are the research institutions, the
large firms, start-ups and entrepreneurs focused on
developing cutting-edge technologies, products and
services .
2. Innovation supporters include incubators, accelerators,,
tech transfer offices, shared working spaces, local high
schools, training firms,
3. Neighborhood-building amenities provide important
support services and/or meeting places to residents and
workers. E.g. grocery stores, restaurants, cafes, coffee
shops, small hotels and local retail
21. Innovation districts – what they are made of
Physical assets also has 3 dimensions:
1. Public realm: Parks, plazas, streets that encourage
activity and liveliness. Public spaces can also function as
living labs.
2. Private realm: privately-owned buildings and spaces
that stimulate innovation in new and creative ways. New
types of offices, shared spaces and services, affordable
housing, etc.
3. Infrastructural assets: Roads and connections that knit
together the area internally as well as to the
surrounding regions .
22. Innovation districts – what they are made of
Networking assets - both strong ties and weak ties
are fundamental to the innovation process and firm
success:
1. Strong ties: Relationships within similar fields. These
types of assets include: “tech regulars”, workshops and
training sessions for specific fields, industry-specific
conferences and meetings, etc..
2. Weak ties occur between people or firms working
within different contexts or economic clusters where
there is infrequent contact. Weak ties provide access to
new information, new contacts and business leads
outside of existing networks
24. What’s new in the concept of innovation districts?
1. Diversity – from cluster, sectors and value
chain focus to cross ‘everything’
innovation.
2. From triple ‘helix to holistix’ – it’s the
melting pot of business, research, public
institutions, cultural players, leisure, civil
society that makes areas long term
innovative.
3. From macro physical focus on access and
infrastructure to micro focus on place
and livability as innovation facilitators
4. Inclusive growth – spillover effects to local
neighborhoods and local areas as living
labs
“The growing application of ‘open
innovation’[…] —has revalued
proximity, density, and other
attributes of cities. At the same time,
the growing preference of young
talented workers to congregate in
vibrant neighborhoods that offer
choices in housing, transportation,
and amenities has made urban and
urbanizing areas increasingly
attractive.”
– Bruce Katz, “Brooking Institute
25. From concept to policy
It’s with innovation districts like clusters…
1. They exist as physical phenomenon that can be observed
2. The can grow naturally (without policy interventions!)
3. But the growth of innovations districts can be kick-started and stimulated by policies and initiatives
And many cities and regions are now turning former industrial districts and dull neighborhoods into
dynamic business districts by launching ‘innovation district initiatives’, typically building on:
1. Promotion and facilitation of collaboration and open innovation
2. Providing public space + programming: establishing an abundance of collaborative open spaces and
organizations
3. Active planning strategy and policies to support diversity – economically, socially and cityscape wise
4. Urban living labs – use neighborhood and its assets actively in innovation
5. Sustainable leadership: Development is designed to be sustainable and result in inclusive growth and
equitable outcomes
26. Boston’s Innovation District
• The Innovation District is the fastest
growing part of Boston
• Since the District’s launch, 5,000 new jobs
have been created and over 200 new
companies have formed.
• 40% of the companies located in the
Innovation District share space in co-
working spaces and incubators.
• Over 1,100 housing units have been
constructed, including 300 innovation
micro-units (micro apartments with
shared spaces)
27. Barcelona @22
• Today, 70% of the former industrial waste-
land in El Poblenou has been refurbished
• Since 2000, 4,500 companies employing
56,000 workers have started in or relocated
to 22@.
• Approximately 72% of the total employees
in 22@ are university-educated.
• 5 universities have established a presence
• Several incubators have been created such
as Biomedical Park, the MediaTic
building and Barcelona Activa
28. South Harbour Copenhagen
City of Copenhagen is looking into turning
it’s South Harbour District into an innovation
district:
• Gather companies, start-ups, university,
cultural and civil society org’s in a joint
innovation platform
• Use social, economic, and environmental
challenges, city spaces, and existing
regeneration programmes as a living lab for
new sustainable solutions
• Build attractive flexible office and incubator
spaces for start-ups and small companies
• Facilitate collaboration between the large real
estate players to activate dead spaces and
buildings
• Etc…
29. So, what’s the implications of the rise of
innovation districts and the new geography
of innovation at the regional policy level?
30. Learning no 1#
Places matter – a lot
Regional growth, innovation, and
competitiveness happens in specific
places (not in regional meta spaces)!
1. We need to nurture our specific
places and localities.
2. Regional growth policies need to
feed into and synergize with our
specific localities.
3. We need a better balance and
connection between the macro
regional perspective and a micro
focus on localities and liveability
as innovation facilitators.
31. Learning no 2#
From triple helix to ‘holistix’
Triple helix collaboration is clearly
still needed – but is far from enough.
1. In regional innovation and growth
policies we need to be better to
include housing, culture, leisure,
social welfare and civil society.
There is much more business and
innovation in these domains than we
use to think…
32. Learning no 3#
Foster diversity and cross fertilization
Specialisation is still needed but today innovation and
growth often happens in the cross field of different
sectors, clusters, and knowledge domains. And
diversity is a must to stay agile and innovative in an
ever changing world….
1. Grow your clusters – but demand cross cluster,
cross sectoral and cross etc. collaboration.
2. Stimulate the small sprouting niches and
specialisations that occur in-between the
dominating ones.
3. Be careful not to throw all your eggs in the basket
of ‘the ICT sector’, ‘the transport sector’, ‘the food
cluster’ and so forth…
4. Be aware that innovation can neither be planned
nor executed at the macro regional level –it’s and
non-linear, organic process. But it can be
stimulated and facilitated!
33. Learning no 4#
Inclusive growth and local spill-overs
Durable regional competitiveness policies
are build on sustainable, social inclusive
approaches with strong local spill-over
effects.
1. Ensure social inclusive approaches and
strong local spill-over effects in
regional growth policies and
programmes. Regions long term
innovation capability, access to talent,
and competitiveness relies on strong
and sustainable localities.
2. Do not always look to invent solutions
for remote customers as the first thing:
Look into you solving your region’s and
neighborhood's own social, economic
and environmental challenges.
