摘要 创新经常被认为是 21 世纪国际竞争力的战场，城市越来越被视为创新的大熔炉，不仅丰富了周边地区，也丰富了整个国家。在全球范围内，我们的城市正在发生大规模的更新，工作性质和工作场所发生根本性转变，产出和消费也发生转变。城市之间相互竞争，不仅要吸引企业和直接外国投资，还要吸引熟练的知识工人，以发展其社会资本和创新能力。但吸引顶尖人才是关键因素吗？在这项研究中，我们研究了巴塞罗那及其历史悠久的棉花区向国际创新中心的转变。
Abstract Innovation is frequently cited as the battleground of international competitiveness in the 21st century and cities are increasingly viewed as the cauldrons of innovation, enriching not only their surrounding regions but their nations as a whole. Across the globe massive renewal is taking place in our cities, fundamental shifts in the nature of work and the workplaces they host, and transformation of their output as well as their consumption. Cities compete with one another to attract not only firms and direct foreign investment, but also skilled knowledge workers to develop their social capital and capacity for innovation. But is the attraction of top talent the crucial ingredient? In this study we examine the transformation of Barcelona and its historic cotton district to become an international hub of innovation.
