通过连续的工业革命，地球仪的创新地理格局发生了根本性变化，财富创造和繁荣的地理格局也随之发生了根本性变化。自第三次工业革命以来，高收入越来越多地向大都市转移，导致国家内部地区间差异的重新出现。这些大都市区也是创新的温床。与此同时，近几十年来，全球商品和服务的生产和交付网络大大扩展。生产的全球化反映在创新的全球化上。本文认为，新兴的创新地理可以被描述为一个全球化的枢纽到枢纽系统，而不是一个地理的整体传播的创新。虽然人们对解释创新集群的兴起和增长给予了很大关注，但对于创新的聚集和分散的微观基础还没有统一的框架。此外，创新和繁荣的地域不平等日益加剧，特别是在国家内部，这两者之间似乎存在着密切的联系。这在整体研究生产力下降的背景下尤其重要，这可能会推动地理集中度的提高。总而言之，继续研究创新地理、经济发展和收入分配之间的关系有着丰富的议程。
Through successive industrial revolutions, the geography of innovation around the globe has changed radically, and with it the geography of wealth creation and prosperity. Since the Third Industrial Revolution, high incomes are increasingly metropolitan, leading to a renewal of inter-regional divergence within countries. These metropolitan areas are also hotbeds of innovation. At the same time, global networks for the production and delivery of goods and services have expanded greatly in recent decades. The globalization of production is mirrored in the globalization of innovation. The paper argues that the emerging geography of innovation can be characterised as a globalized hub-to-hub system, rather than a geography of overall spread of innovation. Although much attention has been given to explaining the rise and growth of innovation clusters, there is as yet no unified framework for the micro-foundations of the agglomeration and dispersion of innovation. In addition, there appear to be strong links between growing geographical inequality of innovation and prosperity, particularly within countries. This is particularly relevant in the context of declining overall research productivity, which could be driving growing geographical concentration. All in all, there is a rich agenda for continuing to investigate the relationship between the geography of innovation, economic development and income distribution.
