Updating this article

I feel that this article needs to be updated. My thoughts are to edit the definition to broaden it as well as clean up the article by organizing technopoles based on their geographic location. 2yur2yub (talk) 18:16, 14 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I feel that separating technopoles by continent would be easiest for others to add and update information over time. 2yur2yub (talk) 19:15, 2 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I think that it is important to note on this page the risks of creating technopoles such as how fast they can dissolve and how they are vulnerable to global trends.2yur2yub (talk) 15:05, 3 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The technopoles currently found on this page are in the geographic regions of Austria and France. Since this page is going to be structured with general information regarding the concept of technopoles followed by a listing of technopoles divided by continent, I will shift the information pertaining to these two regions under the subheading of "Europe".2yur2yub (talk) 15:53, 3 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

With regards to the definition of technopole, I feel it might be useful to state the origin of the term (coined by Allen Scott in 1990 to describe the increase in high technology regions of Southern California) as well as including the current use with a broader scope(its not just a term applied to regions in the U.S., it is used internationally). 2yur2yub (talk) 02:22, 4 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
