Territorial embeddedness and virtual connections of knowledge and creative workers in Milan

Abstract

The paper discusses the relation between territorial embeddedness and virtual connections among knowledge and creative workers in Milan by challenging the idea that co-presence is crucial for interaction and that face-to-face (F2F) relations are essential for their success. Knowledge and creative workers are thus embedded in a wider "space", that is not necessarily a physical one, but also virtual and ICT mediated.
