In a previous research work of the authors, a set of hypotheses for the design, development and operation of successful KCs are proposed and validated through the analytical study of KCs cases in support of these hypotheses, resulting in a related framework. However, the rapid changes in the field render it necessary today to re\u2010examine the elements which had led to the formulation of the framework, so as to update it.<\/jats:italic><\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title content-type=\"abstract-heading\">Design\/methodology\/approach<\/jats:title><jats:p><jats:italic>The methodology followed so as to update the framework is based on the examination of the already identified KCs and the inclusion of five additional KCs cases. For the new set of KCs, the authors examine at which degree each case supports the hypotheses. Modifications in the set of hypotheses are proposed. The hypotheses that continue to be valid are considered as dominant, thus leading to the updated framework.<\/jats:italic><\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title content-type=\"abstract-heading\">Findings<\/jats:title><jats:p><jats:italic>Among the main findings is that all cities previously examined continue to actively support their KBD, through a series of strategies and appropriate actions. The majority of the hypotheses continue to be valid, while three of them need to slightly change so as to adapt to prevailing current conditions.<\/jats:italic><\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title content-type=\"abstract-heading\">Research limitations\/implications<\/jats:title><jats:p><jats:italic>The findings of this paper can be of value for researchers seeking to develop specific customized methodologies for the development of KCs.<\/jats:italic><\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title content-type=\"abstract-heading\">Originality\/value<\/jats:title><jats:p><jats:italic>The main added\u2010value elements of this paper can be considered the re\u2010examination of the current status of a series of successful KCs on the one side and the update of the framework for the design, development and operation of KCs on the other side.<\/jats:italic><\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1108\/13673270910988060","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2009,10,5]],"date-time":"2009-10-05T11:47:23Z","timestamp":1254743243000},"page":"214-227","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":14,"title":["Rethinking the development of successful knowledge cities: an advanced framework"],"prefix":"10.1108","volume":"13","author":[{"given":"Emmanouil","family":"Ergazakis","sequence":"first","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Kostas","family":"Ergazakis","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Kostas","family":"Metaxiotis","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Yannis","family":"Charalabidis","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]}],"member":"140","reference":[{"key":"key2022021620284226600_b1","unstructured":"Barcelona City Council (2005), Strategic Metropolitan Plan of Barcelona (PEMB) Phase 2006\/2010, Pla Estrat\u00e9gic Metropolita de Barcelona."},{"key":"key2022021620284226600_b2","unstructured":"Barcelona City Council (2007), Barcelona Data Sheet 2007, Ajuntament de Barcelona Promocio Economica."},{"key":"key2022021620284226600_b3","unstructured":"Centre for International Competitiveness (2008), World Knowledge Competitiveness Index 2008, Cardiff School of Management, University of Wales Institute, Cardiff."},{"key":"key2022021620284226600_b4","unstructured":"Delft, M.
