【 摘 要 】

Recent decades have been characterised by the development of new fields of science and economy, including the sector of advanced technologies. Growth of the knowledge-based economy is associated with a new type of space. Technopolis, science and technology parks, have been springing up in cities all over the world. In urban terms, these are building complexes fulfilling functions of services, offices, laboratories, and industry, located in landscape arranged areas. The Author's long-term study of technology parks around the world oscillates around the quality of their space, their compositional principles, and relations with their surroundings, as well as facilities of public areas, city structure, and spatial policy. Some technology parks are simple, intimate building complexes surrounded with greenery. Their significance for the city is not always visible. However, many examples indicate that technology parks are more than a complex of buildings with office, laboratory, and industrial functions. They have a strong potential to change the city structure, by influencing social changes, increasing landscape and greenery, node places, and network connections. The Author believes that the emergence of technology parks has affected the development of a new mode of city functioning, its form, and space. Technology park complexes are morphologically distinctive from their surroundings due to their new forms and high-quality space. Therefore, the Author defines a new type of urban tissue-techno-polis-through four mutually complementary aspects of the urban structure: function, space, form, and community. The core of the techno-polis fabric is providing the best working conditions for highly skilled, professional staff, working in research centres and hightech companies, and incidentally building a network community, changing the city's structure, and ensuring sustainable development. Techno-polis is a hybrid hub, which integrates high-tech industry with high-quality urban and architectural solutions. This attractive space with a considerable share of arranged greenery areas is a new eco-friendly quarter, where people can live and work in comfort.
