For about 5 years I have been looking at, studying, and
figuring out ways to recreate organic or focused clusters in unique locations. Such
locations have natural and geographic benefits that make them ripe for developing
natural cluster. When studying a phenomenon, one would need to read the
literature and prior research. This is important because people have already
looked at various aspects of factors that lead to growth.
Below you will find an article discussing coordination of
clusters to strengthen jobs, growth, and reduce emission. Clusters are designed
to innovate and further industry advancement. Alternatively, they could be
developed to maintain stability under various market factors if growth is not
the central goal (more organic).
Improved employment and higher wages are common in clusters
as people are trained for available jobs. You will often find trade schools and
universities that feed talent. Since the industries are seeking to be
cutting edge they are going to pay for top labor/professional labor. Human
capital is an essential component for innovative industries.
The commitment to lower emissions is another topic that
seems natural to clusters. While these clusters made a special commitment to
reduce pollution the very local proximity of resources, density of networks,
focused investments in clusters makes them generally efficient and
environmentally friendly per output (product, patent, ROI, etc.). One
would have to look at specific studies if they are available but in general efficiency
and waste are inversely related.
