| description | Metropolises are currently regarded as nodes in a global network of flows, becoming the driving forces for territorial development, characterised by high potential of creativity and the innovations generated as a result. A contemporary challenge is to find adequate concepts for analysing and understanding metropolitan innovativeness. The objective of the article is to provide the necessary features by which a new approach to studying metropolitan inventiveness can be adopted. The formulation of this model was inspired by the independently functioning concepts of metropolisation, innovativeness, and the concepts of place. By considering these three perspectives together and their specific methods of analysis, it is possible to describe and explain the process of generating innovations in contemporary metropolises. This article is divided into three main sections illustrating how the concepts of innovation environments, networks, and districts combined with the dynamic concept of place, all relate to innovation place. The analysis presented serves as the basis for the model of an innovation place, it being essential to future initiatives in this sphere of study. The article concludes with methodological remarks indicating the potential use for “innovation space” model.

Šiuo metu metropoliai vertinami kaip mazginiai taškai globaliame srautų tinkle, tampantys varomosiomis teritorijų plėtros jėgomis; juos charakterizuoja aukšto kūrybiškumo potencialas ir, kaip to rezultatas, kuriamos inovacijos. Šiuolaikinis iššūkis – rasti adekvačias koncepcijas, tinkamas metropolitenų inovatyvumui analizuoti ir suprasti. Straipsnio tikslas – pateikti būtinų bruožų, kuriais remiantis, galėtų būti pritaikytas naujas požiūris, padedantis tyrinėti metropolitenų inovatyvumą. Šio modelio formavimą inspiravo savarankiškai funkcionuojančios metropolizacijos, inovatyvumo koncepcijos ir vietos koncepcijos. Apžvelgus šias tris perspektyvas kartu ir jų specifinius analizės metodus, atsiranda galimybė apibūdinti ir paaiškinti inovacijų kūrimo procesą šiuolaikiniuose metropoliuose. Šis straipsnis padalytas į tris pagrindines dalis, iliustruojančias, kaip inovacijų aplinkos, tinklų ir rajonų koncepcijos, sujungtos su dinamiška vietos koncepcija, yra susijusios su inovacijų vieta. Pristatoma analizė yra kaip inovacijų vietos modelio pagrindas, ji būtina ateities iniciatyvoms šios srities tyrimų atžvilgiu. Straipsnio pabaigoje pateikiamos metodologinės pastabos, nurodančios inovacijų erdvės modelio taikymo galimybes.
Reikšminiai žodžiai: kūrybiškumas, inovacijų vieta, inovacijos, inovatyvi aplinka, metropoliai, vieta. |
