Rural Regional Innovation: A Response to Metropolitan-framed Place-based Thinking in the United States

Brian Dabson · 2011 · Australasian journal of regional studies

Summary. This paper examines place-based policy approaches to rural innovation in the United States, arguing that metropolitan-focused frameworks fail to capture rural realities. The author critiques how rurality is measured and how this shapes policy discourse, then proposes a rural regional innovation framework that accounts for distinct rural-metropolitan relationships and clusters. The work challenges regional science to better understand rural innovation dynamics.
