Abstract

This chapter aims to explore the central notions of the Knowledge-City paradigm in which complex cluster concepts provide a perspective of the interdependencies between the many and diverse dimensions of urban value-based categories that co-exist in the northern city-region of Monterrey, Mexico, in the Mexico-Texas Borderland. The chapter succeeds to advance and further contribute to the development of the knowledge-based urban development (KBUD) paradigm by showing a hierarchical framework of knowledge units from the individual Urban Citizen-Entrepreneur to Cluster Partnerships from a Knowledge City-Region perspective. It attempts to describe their spatial footprint, their activities, and their socio-economic impacts. Then, based on a case study in the Mexico-Texas borderland, it is advanced that a multi-variable framework holds promise for the analysis of knowledge-based development initiatives and possibly for future developing regions at a global scale.
