This book provides new insights on cities and the nature of urban development, and the role of knowledge management in urban growth. It considers how knowledge informs policies and supports decision making, and can assist in addressing the drivers of urban change. The way that knowledge is produced and used in urban development is analysed, with examples drawn from a range of European countries. This book illustrates how the development and implementation of policies for urban areas can draw on knowledge management, even as the knowledge economy itself stimulates the evolution of the city as a place of innovation and creativity. Whilst knowledge grows in importance, so do urban issues, particularly in economic and political contexts at both European and national levels. These essays explore growth in the range of knowledge available in urban contexts, the ways to generate new knowledge from a wide range of stakeholders, and how these can make an effective contribution to decision making processes in urban development. The attractiveness of cities and surrounding areas to knowledge based forms of industry and investment and the competitiveness and performance of cities are a matter of major concern for national governments. In a sense it has become too important to leave to city politicians, and it is a topic requiring sustained reflection. This book gives the reader a detailed understanding of the issues involved and prompts further reflections.

This publication is the Final Report from COST Action C20 ‘Urban Knowledge Arena’ (20052009), a European concerted action, operating through the COST framework. The Action has actively involved more than 100 urban researchers, professionals and policy experts from 22 countries, representing a great variety of cities and organizations, professional expertise and scientific disciplines in social science, humanities, architecture, engineering and natural science. The objective of the Action has been to investigate the emerging field of integrated knowledge, experience and know-how, which is needed in today’s highly complex and delicate urban development and regeneration processes. We summarise the field by using the term Urban Knowledge. We have identified and examined theories, methods and tools for cross-boundary and trans-disciplinary knowledge production, management and communication. Furthermore, we introduce the concept Urban Knowledge Arena (UKA), i.e. a platform/forum/arena, which can give knowledge support in an urban development activity, and simultaneously contribute to production of new knowledge and learning. We have also explored how innovation occurs in urban development processes, and how it can exploit all aspects of Urban Knowledge to achieve it.
