SITE Town

SITE Town refers to a proposed or actual planned community (or a substantial section thereof) that is primarily focused on attracting or accommodating workers and businesses in the Science, Information, Technology, and Engineering (SITE) fields. These towns are characterized by a strong emphasis on innovation, technology infrastructure, and a highly skilled workforce. They often include research institutions, technology companies, educational facilities, and residential areas designed to foster collaboration and community.

While the term "SITE Town" is not universally adopted or rigidly defined, it reflects a broader trend of developing geographic clusters centered around technology and knowledge-based industries, aiming to create economic growth and attract talent. It can be seen as a specialized type of technology park or research park, with a greater emphasis on integrating residential and community aspects to create a comprehensive living and working environment. The success of a SITE Town relies heavily on factors such as government investment, access to capital, quality of life, and proximity to major universities or research hubs. The concept draws inspiration from earlier planned communities and technology clusters like Silicon Valley, but seeks to create a more deliberately designed and integrated environment.
