Summary
□ Major cities are drawing newfound attention as spaces where new industries emerge and grow.
  ￭ Cities are hubs of new technological advancement and innovation where new ideas, inventions, businesses, and industries emerge through the interactions of creative people and entrepreneurs (Florida 2005).

□ In a growing number of cases, inner city locations are being provided in major cities as sites for fostering new industry.
  ￭ (Using vacant inner city spaces) Station F in Paris and Youth Zones in Seoul are examples of inner city sites vacated by the relocation of infrastructure or public institutions that are now being used as sites for new industry.
  ￭ (Linkage with renewal in declining neighborhoods) The Grand Front Osaka Project in Japan and Dasi (Again) Sewoon Project in Seoul are examples of new industry sites linked with renewal efforts for neighborhoods in decline.
  ￭ (Linkage with universities and research institutions) Applied Sciences NYC in New York is one of several examples of inner city universities and research institutions being used as bases for new industry ecosystem sites.

□ Policy measures are needed to provide sites in major cities to build the entrepreneurship and innovation ecosystems necessary to foster new industries.
