I've published two articles on biotech, both of which approach the issue
from the point of spatial organization and economic development:
Feldman, Marshall M.A. 1985a. Biotechnology and local economic growth: The
American pattern. Pp. 65-79 in _Silicon landscapes_, ed. Peter Hall and
Ann Markusen. Boston: Allen & Unwin.
--------. 1985b. Patterns of biotechnology development. Pp. 93-107 in
_The future of urban form: The impact of new technology_, ed. John
Brotchie, Peter Newton, Peter Hall, and Peter Nijkamp. London: Croom
Helm.
