Urban innovation spaces are areas within the urbanized built environment that are centered around human capital and characterized by intensive engagement in knowledge-based and technology-intensive activities such as learning, processing, and re-creation. These spaces exhibit distinct features, including compact and efficient land use, multifunctional spatial organization, innovation ecosystems driven by the flow of key elements, flexible and adaptive spatial supply, and multidimensional networked interactions. For example, Yunqi Town in Hangzhou has developed a dual-platform model that integrates a physical park with a virtual innovation community. By leveraging mixed reality technologies, it transcends geographical boundaries to enable real-time data connectivity with 23 global innovation hubs.
