Abstract

Anttiroiko A.-V. Making of an Asia-Pacific high-technology hub: reflections on the large-scale business site development projects of the Osaka City and the Osaka Prefecture, Regional Studies. Osaka City and Osaka Prefecture introduced several large-scale business site and technopole development projects in the 1980s and 1990s that appeared to be failures. This development was designed by the politico-administrative establishment of the Osaka area in order to claim their share of anticipated global economic growth. The case of Osaka suggests that business site developments need to be built on premises that match the requirements of a global knowledge economy. In the 2000s, Osaka started to create a more balanced strategy and a new vision, in which Osaka as a knowledge-intensive lifestyle city is the centre of interaction of the Kansai region.

Formation d'une plate-forme High-tech dans la region Asie-Pacifique: reflexions sur les projets de developpement de sites industriels de grande ampleur a Osaka et dans sa region, Regional Studies. La ville et la prefecture d'Osaka ont lance dans les annees 1980 et 1990 d'importants projets de developpement de sites industriels et de technopoles qui semblent avoir ete voues a l'echec. Ces travaux avaient ete concus par les instances politico-administratives d'Osaka qui demandaient leur part de la croissance economique globale escomptee. Le cas d'Osaka laisse a penser que les projets de developpement de sites industriels doivent etre realises dans des conditions qui correspondent aux exigences de l'economie globale de la connaissance. Dans les annees 2000, Osaka a commence a elaborer une strategie plus equilibree ainsi qu'une vision nouvelle ou la ville en tant que cite de la connaissance se trouve au centre des interactions actions de la region de Kansai.

Die Entwicklung eines Hightech-Drehkreuzes fur Asien-Pazifik: U¨berlegungen zu den umfangreichen Entwicklungsprojekten der Stadtverwaltung und Prafektur von Osaka fur Gewerbegebiete, Regional Studies. Die Stadtverwaltung und die Prafektur von Osaka fuhrten in den achtziger und neunziger Jahren mehrere umfangreiche Entwicklungsprojekte fur Gewerbegebiete und Technologiezentren durch, die offenbar gescheitert sind. Die Entwicklung wurde von der etablierten politischen Verwaltung des Gebiets Osaka ins Leben gerufen, um einen Anteil am erwarteten weltweiten Wirtschaftswachstum geltend zu machen. Der Fall Osaka legt nahe, dass die Entwicklung von Gewerbegebieten auf Pramissen grunden muss, die an den Anforderungen der weltweiten Wissenswirtschaft ausgerichtet sind. Im ersten Jahrzehnt des 21. Jahrhunderts entwickelte Osaka eine ausgeglichenere Strategie und neue Vision, in der Osaka als wissensintensive Lifestyle-Stadt im Mittelpunkt der Wechselwirkungen in der Kansai-Region steht.

La creacion de un centro de alta tecnologia en el Asia-Pacifico: consideraciones sobre los proyectos de desarrollo en zonas comerciales a gran escala en la ciudad de Osaka y la Prefectura de Osaka, Regional Studies. La ciudad de Osaka y la Prefectura de Osaka introdujeron varios centros comerciales a gran escala y proyectos de desarrollo de tecnopolos en los ochenta y noventa, que parece que fracasaron. Este desarrollo fue disenado por la clase dirigente politico-administrativa de la zona de Osaka con el objetivo de reclamar su participacion en el crecimiento economico global anticipado. El caso de Osaka indica que los desarrollos de zonas comerciales necesitan ser construidos en lugares que se adaptan a las necesidades de la economia global del conocimiento. En los primeros anos del nuevo milenio Osaka empezo a crear una estrategia mas equilibrada y una nueva vision, en la que Osaka como ciudad con un estilo de vida que demanda mucho conocimiento es el centro de la interaccion en la region de Kansai.
