“Physical proximity allows social density and therefore, it increases the chances of intellectual

and/or social interaction between people. Indeed, these chances depends not only on the type of

activities allocated in a place and the people they involve, but also depends on the way both people

and activities are accommodated in the built environment”

“Technology campuses are planned, clustered and (quasi-)isolated built environments. In fact, there is no

evidence that supports these characteristics of the built environment enhance research activity. However, their

existence supports there are reasons to believe they do”

“Despite globalisation trends, physical proximity is believed to facilitate the flows of tacit knowledge and it is

actively encouraged in campuses’ strategies”

From literature: what generates innovation?)

1.  Interaction – between academic ‘acquaintances’ from different scientific backgrounds – is better than ‘academic friends’ or ‘academic family’ (analogy: genetics)

2.  Serendipity as innovation motor – new ideas by accident, unplanned interaction

3.  The physical presence of people relevant to universities – ‘meeting of minds’

4.  “No clicks without bricks” – no world-class university can be entirely virtual

5.  Informal meetings: build trust (biology matters) – (espresso) bars, public space, social media contribute to that

6.  Importance of place attachment " 2nd home for international community – ‘feeling at home’ will make knowledge workers stay (1st house, 1st child)

1.  use heritage for branding – students* become tourists 2.  reduce the footprint – densily populated areas contribute to innovation 3.  less private, more public use of space – showcase, open, 24/7 access 4.  ‘urban meeting rooms’ – to merge urban and university communities 5.  regional alignment – planning in a public-private network
