摘要本文探讨了最近在欧洲的计划知识地点的“城市转向”背后的驱动因素。在承认城市化的总体趋势的同时，我们认为，由于工人的偏好和创新模式有细微差别，密集和多样化的城市环境与所有类型的知识型活动并不同等相关。基于“考虑不同类型的知识库”的理论，我们建议更强烈地依赖于符号知识的活动（例如，媒体，设计）往往对城市环境有更强的偏好，而基于分析和综合知识的活动（例如，生物技术和先进工程）。我们通过三个案例研究来说明我们的论文：斯德哥尔摩的Kista科学园，都柏林的数字中心和科英布拉的Biocant。
Abstract This paper explores the drivers behind a recent “urban turn” of planned knowledge locations in Europe. While acknowledging a general tendency towards more urbanity, we argue that a dense and diverse urban environment is not equally relevant for all types of knowledge-based activities because of nuanced workers’ preferences and innovation modes. Based on a theory “considering different types of knowledge bases”, we suggest that activities that more intensively rely on symbolic knowledge (e.g., media, design) tend to have a stronger preference for urban settings, while this is less the case for activities based on analytical and synthetic knowledge (e.g., biotechnology and advanced engineering). We illustrate our thesis by three case studies: Kista Science Park in Stockholm, The Digital Hub in Dublin, and Biocant in Coimbra.
