Summary:The goal of our paper is to look at the connection between a city's morphology and the development of innovation districts. We look at spatial planning as a strategic intervention that can affect urban morphology and help to create a better innovation district. Research in economic geography shows innovative industries (especially high-tech) have a higher tendency for spatial concentration than other types of industries. We are focusing on innovation districts that may emerge naturally within urban fabric. To demonstrate the limits and potential of the Naturally Occurring Innovation Districts (NOIDS), we focus on transformations taking place at Zabłocie, Krakow and Jeżyce, Poznan, both in Poland, and both of which can be recognized as typical examples of Polish NOIDs.
