<p>In a globalizing, knowledge-based economy, innovation and creative capacity lead to economic prosperity. Starting in 2006, the Innovation Systems Research Network began a six year-long study on how city-regions in Canada were surviving and thriving in a globalized world. That study resulted in the “Innovation, Creativity, and Governance in Canadian City-Regions” series, which examines the impact of innovation, talent, and institutions on sixteen city-regions across Canada. This volume explores how the social dynamics that influence innovation and knowledge flows in Canadian city-regions contribute to transformation and long-term growth.</p><p>With case studies examining cities of all sizes, from Toronto to Moncton, <em>Innovating in Urban Economies</em> analyzes the impact of size, location, and the regional economy on innovation and knowledge in Canada’s cities.</p>
