How can innovative cities be cultivated and fertilized? Embracing and reframing insights from multidisciplinary academic discourse, we conceptualize three paired tensional dimensions, namely, the human-society, the market-government and the global–local tensions, to form a six-I city innovation framework. Also termed a CELL framework, the six I-related key elements are: human intelligence, societal incentives, government involvement, market inclination, global integration, and local interconnection. Taking a holistic view, the set of collective and interdependent institutional elements can serve to analyze the development of city innovation. The key assertion of the study is that a city's innovative ecosystem can be built up, and, more importantly, via configuring key institutional arrangements.

苗圃城市创新：CELL 框架

创新城市如何培育和施肥？我们从多学科学术话语中汲取和重构见解，将三个成对的张力维度概念化，即人类社会、市场政府和全球-地方张力，形成一个六I城市创新框架。也称为 CELL 框架，与 I 相关的六个关键要素是：人类智慧、社会激励、政府参与、市场倾向、全球一体化和本地互连。从整体上看，这组集体和相互依存的制度要素可以用来分析城市创新的发展。该研究的关键主张是可以建立城市的创新生态系统，更重要的是，通过配置关键的制度安排。
