Abstract

The concepts of agile cities and regional learning infrastructure are systematically presented as a post-Fordist response to the changing nature of global competition. The potential leverage underlying these two concepts in balancing the bargaining power between the cities and private investors is analyzed. The importance of agile government and agile communities in the establishment of regional learning infrastructure is discussed. Finally, the role of intelligent transportation systems in the building of regional learning infrastructure is summarized
