在过去的几十年里，地球仪上的许多城市都经历了一个转型过程，从传统的工业经济活动转向以知识为基础的经济活动，以实现持续的经济发展。这些城市修改了土地使用政策，以适应创新活动的特区，即所谓的“创新区”，以实现其基于知识的经济发展雄心。文献指出，创新区的地方品质是知识经济蓬勃发展的关键成功因素。然而，到目前为止，还没有一个框架来评估创新区的地方质量。为了填补这一空白，本文提出了一个评估框架，该框架由一套来自三个空间尺度的指标组成（即，区域、城市、集群）。从跨学科文献中收集了许多指标，然后由43位专家通过国际德尔菲调查进行筛选、验证和定稿。还采用了层次分析法来确定指标的权重。本文认为，该框架是一个宝贵的工具，因为它有能力帮助城市管理者，规划师和城市设计师评估和提供高质量的创新区。
During the last decades, many cities across the globe have gone through a transition process, moving from traditional industrial economic activities to knowledge-based ones, for a sustained economic progress. These cities revised their land use policies to accommodate special zones for innovation activities—so-called ‘innovation districts—to realise their knowledge-based economic development ambitions. The literature indicates that place quality of innovation districts is a critical success factor for the knowledge-based economy to flourish. However, so far there is no framework developed to assess the place quality of innovation districts. To fill this gap, this paper proposes an evaluation framework comprised of a set of indicators derived from three spatial scales (i.e., regional, city, cluster). Numerous indicators were gathered from the interdisciplinary literature, and then they were screened, validated, and finalised by 43 experts through an international Delphi survey. The analytic hierarchy process was also applied to derive the weights of the indicators. The paper argues that the framework is an invaluable tool as it has the capability to assist city administrators, planners and urban designers to assess and deliver high-quality innovation districts.
