This paper sets out to demonstrate how the triple-helix model enables us to study the knowledge base of an urban economy in terms of its civil society's support for the evolution of the city as a key component of an innovation system. It argues that... Read More about The triple-helix model of smart cities: a neo evolutionary perspective..
