They are communities intentionally designed so innovation occurs easily, usually inspired by a nearby university. These neighborhoods are enhanced by placemaking from the city and often include an industry presence. Corporations sometimes contribute a co-location building on campus for dual use.The approach communities use to create innovation is: Open Source, Iterative Process & Proximity.This book offers ideas how to use OSipp Theory of Innovation™ to foster innovation.
