Spatial dynamics and innovation in the City of Córdoba

Contributions to understand urban space

Abstract

This paper seeks to address the practices of mainly industrial companies in the northern area (Barrio Los Boulevares) of the city of Córdoba, identifying the existence of innovative practices where the three characteristics of innovation are visible: incremental, informal and cooperative.

We seek to identify who and how they innovate in productive terms, and how differential agents are articulated in concrete territorial practices. The focus is on the innovation-territory relationship, particularly the production of the latter, with urban characteristics, based on innovation activities developed by certain agents of the industrial sector.

Keywords: Urban space - Industries - Innovation - Territory
