Abstract

A city innovation is a new solution that creates additional value to people in the city by addressing urban challenges. This could be in terms of technological, institutional, organizational, political, economic and social, as long as it creates value to the city’s prosperity, liveability, and social equity. The UP-Ayala Technology Hub fosters a city innovation in the heart of Quezon City. The UP-Ayala Technology Hub is a pioneer on academically-based IT Park in the Philippines that was created to face challenges of competition and economic development. This provides an area in which small-scale businesses could grow their operations through promoting industry and academe linkages. Moreover, this impacts the growth of the city from the typical residential area to introducing a business complex which caters to start-up and medium-scale businesses.
