Abstract

The successful development of science parks is dependent on the relevance and delivery of a range of value propositions they offer to their stakeholders. Experience has shown that the benefits of these value propositions are 'place based' and 'time dependent', influenced by the prevailing technology, social and business environments in which they operate, and the relationship that is developed between entrepreneurs, corporates, academia and government in creating these projects, and their performance is dependent on economic, physical and networking assets they create and deploy. This paper looks at some of the history that has influenced the development of parks, lessons learnt from their planning, development and operation. It reviews these details in the context of delivering value propositions in the context of temporal, spatial, technology and entrepreneurial profile of the new idea of 'innovation districts', influencing 'city planning' and supporting 'smart specialisation strategies'.
