Funded Activity Summary

Innovation in outer metropolitan areas. This project aims to study how labour connects and facilitates across large spatial divides. Under global economic restructuring, advanced nations are moving towards advanced manufacturing and services economy. With such activity based in cities, periphery or outer metropolitan areas are often excluded as sites of advanced industry investment. This exacerbates uneven development between peripheries and metropoles. Studying the two advanced economies of Australia and Japan, this project aims to understand how clusters and networks are perceived to be connected and how this network proximity increases innovation across time and space. This could raise productivity across an entire national innovation system.
