Special industrial/technology zones/parks

[phk]

Does the US need more clustered investment centers that receive special tax breaks and expedited regulatory processes for technology parks? Some economic research suggests that clustering of similar industries in a close geographical proximity could allow them to take advantage of market externalities, path dependency, etc. etc. etc.

A whole region like Bangalore and Shenzen?

I dunno... They should have been planning these out in Asia like crazy during the last decade.

There's been a rise in smaller developments  in North India (in comparison to Chennai and Bangalore), an example of which would be Nano City which is being run by Sabeer Bhatia of Hotmail fame and in Haryana.
