Abstract
In this paper, our emphasis will be on interdependencies between stocks of knowledge and their distribution over urban space in the form of knowledge production firms. We shall also focus upon the essential role which meeting facilities play in the process of knowledge exchange over a spatial network. We derive a production function for the knowledge levels of a nodal firm and the firm's accessibility measure to meetings by means of knowledge networks. A spatial equilibrium model of knowledge production over urban space is formulated and the resulting Nash equilibrium is derived. A simple numerical example is used to illustrate that the system may bear endogenously the agglomeration cores in the distribution of knowledge production capacities.
