Rise of the Startup City
研究了美国都市区及内部街区层面风险资本支持初创企业的地理分布，发现创新和创业活动正从郊区回归传统城市中心，颠覆了高科技产业集中于郊区的既有模式。
The prevailing geographic model for high-technology industrial organization has been the “nerdistan,” a sprawling, car-oriented suburb organized around office parks. This seems to contradict a basic insight of urban theory, which associates dense urban centers with higher levels of innovation, entrepreneurship, and creativity. This article examines the geography of recent venture capital finance startups across U.S. metros and within a subset of them by neighborhood. It concludes that the model is changing. The suburban model might have been a historical aberration, and innovation, creativity, and entrepreneurship are realigning in the same urban centers that traditionally fostered them.
