“How can universities, governments, and private industries expand research by co-locating workplaces?”

Universities, governments, and private industries can drive scientific and technological innovation. Consequently, it’s a logical step for urban areas to carve out districts for these institutions to work close to each other. These so-called Science Parks facilitate research operations, technology transfer, and knowledge sharing among tenants. If designed well, science parks can superdrive scientific progress. Example science parks across the world include the UCSC Monterey Bay Education, Science & Technology Center, the Metrotech Center at New York University Tandon School of Engineering, Sophia Antipolis in Southeast France, and Saigon Hi-Tech Park in Ho Chi Minh City.
