Abstract

Jonas A. E. G., While A. H. and Gibbs D. C. Managing infrastructural and service demands in new economic spaces: the new territorial politics of collective provision, Regional Studies. Research on the geography of urban and regional economic development in the United States and Europe often emphasizes the contribution of supply-side entrepreneurial local policies to the development and competitiveness of new economic spaces (NES) in and around city-regions. Such policies include public-private partnerships and new forms of regional governance. As hitherto successful NES mature, a newer set of struggles has emerged in particular cities and regions having important clusters of new economic activities. These involve new demands for collective provision of infrastructure, workforce housing, and services. Using evidence from Greater Boston in Massachusetts, United States, and the Cambridge city-region in the UK, the paper proposes a set of concepts with which to investigate the new territorial politics of collective provision. This politics is an increasingly significant yet under-theorized aspect of the social regulation and competitiveness of NES. [image omitted] Jonas A. E. G., While A. H. et Gibbs D. C. Maitriser la demande d'equipement et de services dans les nouvelles espaces economiques: la nouvelle politique territoriale visant la prestation collective, Regional Studies. La recherche sur la geographie du developpement economique urbano-regional aux Etats-Unis et en Europe souligne souvent la contribution des politiques locales entrepreneuriales de l'offre au developpement et a la competitivite des nouvelles espaces economiques au sein et autour des cites-regions. De telles politiques incluent des partenariats publics-prives et de nouvelles formes de gouvernance regionale. Au fur et a mesure que les nouvelles espaces economiques reussies murissent, un nouvel ensemble de conflits a fait le jour dans certaines grandes villes et regions qui ont d'importantes grappes de nouvelles activites economiques. Celles-la comportent de nouvelles demandes de prestation d'equipement, de logement social et de services collective. A partir des donnees pour Greater Boston, aux E-U, et pour la cite-region de Cambridge, au R-U, cet article propose un ensemble de concepts a l'aide duquel on peut examiner la nouvelle politique territoriale de prestation collective. Cette politique est un aspect de plus en plus important, pourtant insuffisamment theorise, de la reglementation sociale et de la competitivite des nouvelles espaces economiques.

Verwaltung der Nachfrage nach Infrastruktur und Dienstleistungen in neuen Wirtschaftsraumen: die neue Territorialpolitik der kollektiven Beschaffung, Regional Studies. Bei der Erforschung der Geografie der urbanen und regionalen Wirtschaftsentwicklung in den USA und Europa wird oft der Beitrag der lokalen Unternehmenspolitik auf der Angebotsseite zur Entwicklung und Wettbewerbsfahigkeit von neuen Wirtschaftsraumen in Stadtregionen und ihrer Umgebung betont. Beispiele hierfur sind offentlich-private Partnerschaften und neue Formen der Regionalregierung. Wahrend bisher erfolgreiche neue Wirtschaftsraume reifen, haben sich in bestimmten Stadten und Regionen, die uber wichtige Cluster neuer Wirtschaftstatigkeiten verfugen, neuere Arten von Bemuhungen herausgebildet. Hierzu gehort eine neue Nachfrage nach einer kollektiven Bereitstellung von Infrastruktur, Arbeitnehmer-Unterkunften und Dienstleistungen. Anhand von Belegen aus dem Grossraum Boston in den USA sowie aus der Stadtregion Cambridge in Grossbritannien schlagen wir in diesem Beitrag verschiedene Konzepte zur Untersuchung der neuen Territorialpolitik kollektiver Beschaffung vor. Diese Politik stellt einen immer wichtigeren, aber zu wenig theoretisierten Aspekt der gesellschaftlichen Regelung und Wettbewerbsfahigkeit von neuen Wirtschaftsraumen dar.

Gestion de las demandas de infraestructura y servicios en los nuevos espacios economicos: las nuevas politicas territoriales de dotacion colectiva, Regional Studies. En el estudio sobre geografia del desarrollo economico urbano y regional en los Estados Unidos y Europa se suele recalcar la contribucion de las politicas locales empresariales de suministro para el desarrollo y la competitividad de los nuevos espacios economicos en las regiones metropolitanas y alrededores. Estas politicas incluyen sociedades publicas-privadas y nuevas formas de gobierno regional. Mientras maduran los nuevos espacios economicos, hasta ahora con gran exito, se han desarrollado nuevos esfuerzos en determinadas ciudades y regiones que disponen de importantes aglomeraciones de nuevas actividades economicas. Esto implica nuevas demandas de una dotacion colectiva de infraestructura, viviendas para los trabajadores y servicios. Mediante los ejemplos del Greater Boston en los Estados Unidos y la region metropolitana de Cambridge en el Reino Unido, en este articulo proponemos una serie de conceptos con los que analizamos las nuevas politicas territoriales de dotacion colectiva. Estas politicas representan un aspecto cada vez mas importante, aunque todavia poco teorizado, de la regulacion social y la competitividad de los nuevos espacios economicos.
