New Urban Model Must Give Innovation a Sense of Place
A panel of speakers analyzed the emerging urban model in which the work environment is driven by an innovation hub. The session — Innovation Districts: A New Urban Development Model Emerging In The United States — was moderated by Julie Wagner of the Brookings Institution. Wagner talked through the various historical models for the city: "The industrial estate or park came first, followed by the research park and now we're moving into the age of the innovation park."
Wagner defined the innovation park as a "geographic location, often anchored on an academic hub, which is populated by a series of high-tech startups and research-based companies.†She described three types of innovation hubs: "The anchor-plus, which is generally situated in mid-town; the re-imagined urban area, which may be near a waterfront or other older industrial area; and the urbanized science park, which will be outside the city." Wagner stressed that workers in the out-of-town park increasingly expect all the facilities of a city center to be available on or close to the work environment.
Keith Orris of Drexel University presented the case of Philadelphia, which he claims has the "biggest millennial population in the U.S."
Add the availability in the region of $1.4 billion in R&D funding, and it is no surprise that a major innovation community, called Schuylkil Yards, is about to be built there.
Thomas Osha of Wexford Science and Technology said innovation districts required "a true long-term view to generate the most value." He said, "So it's not necessarily about real estate, it's about giving innovation a sense of place.â€
