Research Regions: Constructing High Technology Complexes

卡尔贡博士是科学历史学家，舍恩伯格博士是 地理学家莱斯利博士是技术历史学家， 合作研究科学的发展- 技术产业区域综合体或增长中心。 他们 正在开发两个原型的详细图片--“硅” 位于加州圣克拉拉谷和128号公路的“山谷” 在波士顿周围--然后研究 三是要以他们为榜样。 这三个案例 研究将是普林斯顿新泽西走廊，纽约走廊 伦斯勒理工学院周边的首都地区 特洛伊纽约和科罗拉多的博尔德-丹佛走廊。 通过 检查原型，然后三次尝试复制它们， 这些调查人员如何能够填补我们的空白， 了解这些增长中心的动态及其 进化，并阐明更普遍的问题， 聚集经济的建设，因为它们受到 科学技术前沿、社会和工业 特定地区的历史以及地区的结构 行业 这些研究还应涉及重大问题 关于科技与政府的关系， 工业-学术互动在至关重要的 第二次世界大战后，1945年至今。

Dr. Kargon, a historian of science, Dr. Schoenberger, a geographer, and Dr. Leslie, a historian of technology, are collaborating in a study of the development of science- technology-industry regional complexes or growth centers. They are developing detailed pictures of two prototypes--"Silicon Valley" in the Santa Clara Valley of California and Route 128 around Boston--and then examining the origins and development of three attempts to follow their example. These three case studies will be the Princeton New Jersey corridor, the New York Capital region surrounding Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in Troy New York, and the Boulder-Denver corridor of Colorado. By examining the prototypes and then three attempts to copy them, these investigators how to be able to fill gaps in our understanding of the dynamics of these growth centers and their evolution, and to illuminate the more general problem of the construction of agglomeration economies as they are influenced by the scientific-technical frontier, the social and industrial histories of the specific locale, and the structure of the industry. These studies should also address significant issues concerning the science-technology relationship and governmental- industrial-academic interactions in the critically important post-World War II period, 1945 to the present.
