To date, the focus in smart specialization has been on what regions as a whole can do to bring about innovation, but it hasn’t necessarily addressed the role cities play within the field. This book aims to address that gap, drawing together a team of leading contributors, to illustrate this process with particular focus on cities.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eSmart Development in Smart Communities\u003c\/em\u003e discusses the cross-fertilization between smart specialization and cities in fostering smart development and its interactions with the macro-, micro- and meso-economic framework, from both a theoretical and applied perspective. Specific topics covered by the book include: human capital formation and utilization; centralized\/decentralized industrial policies; innovation policies; collective learning; and the role of public utilities in sustaining smart development processes. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis book tackles some of the most important questions that must be faced when investigating how structural change and innovation processes are shaping local and global economic development.
