TERRITORIOS INTELIGENTES: ESPACIOS DE ECONOMÍA CREATIVA

Claves de un nuevo modelo de desarrollo

Abstract

The expression intelligent territory in

cludes a new concept of socioecono

mic development based on four fun

damental aspects like competitive

ness, social cohesion, sustainability

and ecoefficiency. This intelligent te

rritory is built by means of the inte

rrelationship of three areas of deve

lopment till now treated in an isola

ted and independent way: the creative

economy, the intelligent environment

and the social sustainable dimension.

Furthermore, it includes a new spa

tial concept, the called city-region,

which improves the traditional geo

graphical and administrative limits of

regions, being compared to the con

cept of functional territory. The crea

tion of its own competitive and

sustainable advantages, under the

constructed advantage strategy, re

presents a clear value for the intelli

gent territory.

Similarly, this article presents a

Basque strategic project of research

called JakinBask that tackles deeply

all the above issues.
