Hub Cities In The Knowledge Economy: Seaports, Airports, Brainports (Transport And Mobility)

The overarching research topic addressed in this book is the complex and multifaceted interaction between infrastructural accessibility/connectivity of city-regions on the one hand and knowledge generation in these city-regions on the other hand. To this end, the book brings together chapters analysing how infrastructural accessibility is related to changing patterns of business location of knowledge-intensive industries in city-regions. The chapters in this book specifically dwell on recent manifestations of, and developments in, the accessibility/knowledge-nexus, with a particular metageographical focus on how this materializes in major city-regions.
