Abstract

This article explores methodological and conceptual links between economic geography and time geography with regard to a suitable analysis of the knowledge based economy. Starting from three key concepts of time-geography - 'project', 'path' and 'diorama' - the article develops a systematic typology of four different approaches to a time-geography of knowledge-based activities: 'Paths of learning and innovation', 'microcosms of learning', 'work-life balance' and 'work/life city limits'. The article concludes that a stronger integration of time-geographic reasoning would deepen our understanding of the complex interrelation between structure and agency.
