Geographies of unruly innovation
Pages 224 – 234

While it has been convincingly shown that innovation is vital to the long-term economic success of localities, regions and nations, much is lacking in terms of knowledge about the sophisticated and unruly spatial processes involved in innovation that take place fragmentarily and unevenly in the grain of territories. This paper discusses how Torsten Hägerstrand’s time-geography may contribute towards deepening our understanding of such geographies of “unruly innovation”. Keywords: unruly innovaion, time-geography, grain-geography, local vs. global, innovation, innovation geography.
