THE LOCATION AND ENVIRONMENT OF ADVANCED TECHNOLOGIES IN BERLIN
PIOTR TRZEPACZ
Abstrakt
Berlin, with its index of innovation, stands on the top of the rank with tra- ditionally-innovated German (Baden-Wurttemberg, Bayern) and non-German (Ile de France, East of England) regions. The location of advanced technologies within the city boundaries shows how important transportation nodes and concentration of research centers are. The traditional factor of innovation has also its importance in localization of new industry in the city. Great external areas today without visible spatial management can be used as location for high-technologies, because of their natural environment-friendly features. Developing an effective transportation system and improving this existing one will work for the city futurę also from this point of view. Berlin’s fight for Europe’s Capital city title can be victorious. It seems that soon it can be too late for other central European cities (especially Capital cities) to reach a comparative level.
