Book Citation - Scopus: 68Knowledge-Based Urban Development: Planning and Applications in the Information Era(IGI Global Publishing, 2008) Yiğitcanlar, Tan; Velibeyoğlu, Koray; Velibeyoğlu, Koray; Baum, S.; 02.03. Department of City and Regional Planning; 02. Faculty of Architecture; 01. Izmir Institute of TechnologyIn the globalizing world, knowledge and information (and the social and technological settings for their production and communication) are now seen as keys to economic prosperity. The economy of a knowledge city creates value-added products using research, technology, and brainpower. The social benefit of knowledge-based urban development (KBUD); however, extends beyond aggregate economic growth. Knowledge-Based Urban Development: Planning and Applications in the Information Era covers the theoretical, thematic, and country-specific issues of knowledge cities to underline the growing importance of KBUD all around the world, providing academics, researchers, and practitioners with substantive research on the decisive lineaments of urban development for knowledge-based production (drawing attention to new planning processes to foster such development), and worldwide best practices and case studies in the field of urban development. © 2008 by IGI Global.

Department of City and Regional Planning; 02. Faculty of Architecture; 01. Izmir Institute of TechnologyTogether with hard and soft networks, tangible and intangible regional assets play an important role in the knowledge-based development of competing city-regions. The aim of this paper, therefore, is to investigate the best ways of managing invaluable tangible and intangible assets of city-regions. The paper explores the importance of asset management of city-regions by giving special emphasis on their knowledge asset base. This paper develops and introduces a theoretical framework to conceptualise a new approach to articulate the strategic planning mechanism, so called the 6K1C framework. The 6K1C framework is part of the strategic planning process of continuous improvement of overall public sector performance. The framework provides a proactive check-list approach integrated for managing and harnessing tangible and intangible assets of the post-industrial city-regions.Article Citation - Scopus: 217Rising Knowledge Cities: the Role of Urban Knowledge Precincts(Emerald Group Publishing Ltd., 2008) Yiğitcanlar, Tan; Velibeyoğlu, Koray; Martinez-Fernandez, Cristina; 02.03. Department of City and Regional Planning; 02. Faculty of Architecture; 01. Izmir Institute of TechnologyPurpose - The paper seeks to investigate the changing and challenging spatial nature of the rising knowledge cities' knowledge precincts. Design/methodology/approach - The paper reviews the literature on recent knowledge precinct developments within the frame of innovation and urban economic competitiveness. The methodology develops a typological investigation and searches for useful insights for better understanding the fundamentals of knowledge precincts. The study exemplifies cases from Australia as well as other global best practices. Findings - The paper sheds light on the contemporary knowledge production of rising knowledge cities, and points out the changing spatial agglomeration of knowledge-intensive industries and the formation of new types of knowledge precincts as the spatial core of knowledge-based urban development. Originality/value - The paper provides an in-depth discussion on the changing spatial concepts of knowledge precincts and their vital role for the knowledge-based urban development of cities.Book Part Citation - Scopus: 7Understanding the Supply Side: Ict Experience of Marmara Region, Turkey(Information Science Reference, 2008) Velibeyoğlu, Koray; Velibeyoğlu, Koray; 02.03. Department of City and Regional Planning; 02. Faculty of Architecture; 01. Izmir Institute of TechnologyMarmara region's local governments in Turkey are setting the benchmark for the country in the implementation of spatial information systems and e-governance. The chapter aims to shed light on organizational realities of recent practices of information systems and technologies based on the evidences from selected local government organizations in the Marmara region. This chapter scrutinizes these practices and discusses the pivotal relationship between the information and communication technologies and its local organizational context within the region. The chapter also exemplifies challenges and opportunities of the Marmara as an emerging information and communication technology-supported region by illustrating the specific information and communication technology supply instruments. The chapter reveals that the particular success in supply side does not guarantee the sustainable information and communication technology implementation. There are other concerns including demand side that are strongly linked to a realistic understanding of end user demand, the institutional capacity of respected organizations, public-private partnership, and the joined-up policy efforts at both national and local levels.Book Part Citation - Scopus: 29Queensland's Smart State Initiative: a Successful Knowledge Based Urban Development Strategy?(Information Science Reference, 2008) Yiğitcanlar, Tan; Velibeyoğlu, Koray; 02.03. Department of City and Regional Planning; 02. Faculty of Architecture; 01. Izmir Institute of TechnologyDuring the last two decades, knowledge-based development has become an important mechanism for knowledge economies. In a knowledge economy, information and communication technology is extensively seen as a potentially beneficial set of instruments, which may improve the welfare and competitiveness of nations and cities. At present, both public and private actors aim to exploit the expected benefits of information and communication technology developments. These technologies offer unprecedented promise for social and economic development on all global, national, regional, urban, and local levels. Therefore, this chapter seeks to investigate the potential of information and communication technology policy at both regional and urban levels, and, in particular, to shed light on various factors that influence urban information technology policies in the public domain. The chapter sets out to explain the knowledge-based urban development processes and challenges and opportunities in information acceptance and use in urban policy-making in Queensland, Australia. This chapter draws on providing a clear understanding on policy frameworks and relevant technology applications of the Queensland Smart State experience.Article Citation - WoS: 72Citation - Scopus: 101Knowledge-Based Urban Development: the Local Economic Development Path of Brisbane, Australia(SAGE Publications Inc., 2008) Yiğitcanlar, Tan; Velibeyoğlu, Koray; 02.03.
