Abstract:	"When there is an economic downturn, cities are forced to develop a strategy to revitalize. Increasing the transfer of high technology into the marketplace stimulates the economy. High tech industries are industries that include relatively high percentages of scientific and technical workers, or industries that make relatively large expenditures in research and development. '[I]n difficult economic times, political stakeholders in the technology transfer process usually view success in economic impact terms, and often from short-term and parochial perspectives - how many jobs in my state next year?' Examples include expansion of the suburban space economy in the 1980s that produced new commercial landscapes in Maryland, Virginia and Washington D.C. in the form of high-tech corridors along limited access highways. These corridors were designed using private mixed-use development master plans."
