36. The Rise of Innovation Districts
“As the United States slowly
emerges from the Great
Recession, a remarkable shift is
occurring in the spatial
geography of innovation.
For the past 50 years, the
landscape of innovation has
been dominated by places like
Silicon Valley—suburban
corridors of 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”
