Abstract
This chapter aims to outline the central notions of the Knowledge-City paradigm in which a recent innovation commons development provides a complex perspective of the interdependencies between the many and diverse dimensions of urban value categories that co-exist in the northern city of Monterrey, Mexico, within the Mexico-Texas Borderland. It will focus on an integrated perspective of knowledge (intangible) capitals that are leveraged for city value-generating processes. Such focus will serve as the basis for theorizing on transformations of socially networked environments - e.g., knowledge networks, hubs and clusters, networked cities, and similar concepts that could eventually become knowledge commons under certain conditions. Monterrey's recent developments under the flag of Knowledge City models could shed some light in the way clustering processes are perceived, resulting in a thorough, honest and integrative case of where the city stands in its own terms comparable to other city-regions with knowledge-based aspirations.
