Abstract

Knowledge and learning, as the major processes of 'knowledge production', are often cited as ultimate sources of competitive advantage, due to the special characteristics, arising from the analysis of knowledge as an economic factor. In this paper/speech, linkage is made between the well-described theories of knowledge-based companies (economies) and the spatial proximity, facilitated by the relevant urban/region policies. In addition, the theoretical determinants of such a 'knowledge city' ('knowledge region') are placed within the wider context of innovation, with the specific linkage to the idea of habitus, as elaborated by Bourdieu in the field of sociology.
