the rise of innovation district - forecastsf
DESCRIPTION
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.TRANSCRIPT
