AbstractThis paper explores the use of scientific approaches when planning for the development of a new high tech/biotech research park. The emphasis is placed on those methods that can provide useful information to various stakeholders about potential economic impacts of a planned high tech/biotech research park in specific urban neighbourhoods. While considerable literature has addressed the overall role of high tech/biotech research parks for regional growth, the potential impacts on disadvantaged urban neighbourhoods are less known. We argue that the geographic scale of analysis is a critical factor. We use a new data set developed by IMPLAN which reports data at the zip code/postal code scale. Using this data set we can conduct input‐output (I/O) analysis of research park impacts and contributions at the micro (one postal code) scale, at the metropolitan scale, at the state scale, and finally at the US scale. We also recognize that different I/O metrics 'tell different stories'. In our analyses, we use employment, occupation, and wage data. Further, we report findings by the minimum required educational attainment for appropriate occupations.Resumen. Este artículo explora el uso de enfoques científicos al planificar el proyecto de un nuevo parque de investigación científica y tecnológica. Se pone énfasis en aquellos métodos que pueden proporcionar información útil a varias partes interesadas sobre los posibles impactos económicos de un parque de investigación tecnológica y biotecnológica en sectores urbanos específicos. A pesar de los numerosos estudios sobre el papel genérico de los parques de investigación científica y tecnológica en el crecimiento regional, no se conoce tanto sobre sus impactos potenciales en los distritos urbanos más desfavorecidos.Aducimos que la escala geográfica del análisis es un factor crítico. Utilizamos un nuevo conjunto de datos desarrollado por IMPLAN que produce informes con datos a escala de código postal. Utilizando este conjunto de datos podemos realizar un análisis input‐output (I/O) de los impactos y contribuciones a micro escala (un código postal), a escala metropolitana, a escala estatal y finalmente a escala de los EE.UU. Reconocemos asimismo que medir el I/O de manera distinta nos "cuenta historias diferentes". En nuestros análisis utilizamos datos del empleo, la ocupación y salariales. Además, mostramos los resultados respecto del nivel educativo mínimo requerido para cada ocupación.

The use, attributes, & performance of research parks (RPs) as a development strategy in nonmetropolitan areas is examined through analysis of 1989 survey data on 116 RPs in the US. The rationale underlying the use of RPs for stimulation of rural economic development lies in the growth pole (center) doctrine in development theory. Compared to metropolitan RPs, nonmetropolitan RPs are smaller, more likely to be affiliated with a nearby research university, & more oriented to diversifying the region's economic base, helping to develop new technology based businesses, & providing jobs for local university graduates. Disadvantages of nonmetropolitan locations for RPs include: shortage of skilled workers, greater risk, & poor access to corporate headquarters. 6 Tables, 21 References. D. Generoli

Among the most rapidly growing and technologically dynamic industries in the U.S. today, biotechnology has captured the imagination of entrepreneurial politicians and investors alike. With a reputation for generating high-wage jobs and highly profitable outputs, particularly pharmaceuticals, this sector has become central to the competitive designs of many states, counties, and cities throughout the United States, and indeed, much of the economically developed world. While there is a rich and insightful literature in geography on "high technology" industries, particularly in light of theories of post-Fordism and flexible production, geographical treatments of biotechnology are sparse (cf. Delaney 1993). As biotechnology has grown economically and diversified geographically, this issue has acquired new significance, particularly in light of the attempts of many Southern states to diversify their economies.

What are the conditions for success of University Research Park and what should the Korean government and universities have to do for meeting the conditions? We found out the factors that impact on the success of University Research Park through literature review and, applied them for University of Illinois. Previous researches emphasized on university policies, intellectural eminence, characteristics of research, venture capital as the critical factors for success of University Research Park. As a promising case, University Research Park of Illinois has the favorable environments except for external venture capital. Although none could surely assert that University Research Park of Illinois will follow the previous success stories of Silicon Valley, Research Triangle, and Route 128, we could say that it has good conditions, and high possibilityes for success. We analyzed critical success factors of University of Illinois compared with Stanford University, and drew some policy implications for improving Korean University Research Park: Government had better allocate more money in promoting excellent University Research Park, and universities rearrange university-industry collaboration polices such as incubator and licensing share, and foster supporting organization and internal venture capital.

Mr. Daigneau goes into detail about the development of Research Park (and refinement of the Master Plan), beginning with Dr. John Mendelsohn's invitation to the Health Science Center to embark on a joint development project. He explains how the 100 acres was subdivided into lots to support buildings of thirty five to fifty thousand square feet. Mr. Daigneau tells the story of negotiating with the Health Science Center for use of land that currently housed an ecological park used for environmental studies, a process that took a year, with the Regents eventually intervening in MD Anderson's favor. He then explains the negotiation process required to develop the roadways and infrastructure and explains how he worked with Governmental Affairs to secure start-up money from the Governor's office to develop infrastructure. Mr. Daigneau also explains why MD Anderson has never been successful in attracting a third collaborator to develop the property. He then goes on to describe the ; https://openworks.mdanderson.org/mchv_interviewchapters/1140/thumbnail.jpg
