About Book
Book Description
Technopolis is a timely theoretical and empirical investigation of the world's largest high-technology industrial complex--Southern California. Allen Scott provides a new conceptual framework for understanding urban and regional growth processes based on a combination of inter-industrial, labor market, and geographical factors. He presents case studies and original data on three major industries that have become synonymous with Southern California: aircraft and parts, missiles and space equipment, and electronics. The business community will be particularly interested in Scott's diagnosis of post-Cold War economic ills and his suggestions for possible remedies.
In good times or bad, knowledge of how Southern California's high-tech industry and regional development have interacted in the past and might interact in the future will be invaluable for regional and economic planners everywhere.
From the Inside Flap
"By far the most sophisticated treatment of industrial structure and spatial organization in the Southern California manufacturing system. The analysis powerfully combines cogent historical narratives, revealing statistical profiles, and incisive empirical and theoretical discussion. . . . Long overdue given the region's obvious importance to the American and world economies."--Richard Gordon, University of California, Santa Cruz
