Summary:The purpose of this article is to provide organized, synthesized information related to initiatives throughout the world based on knowledge-based development (KBD) such as knowledge cities (KCs), knowledge regions, and knowledge countries. A first search was conducted using the Internet and specialized databases under the keywords "knowledge cities". The information compiled led to other related keywords which branched out the search. All resulting information was then collated and integrated into a number of categories all unified under the field of knowledge-based development. A compilation of information on the topic "knowledge cities" and other topics related to knowledge-based development. The information is presented in eight sections: a glossary of KC-related terms, a list of knowledge-based development initiatives, a list of associations and organizations related to the topic, a list of urban KBD-related value dimensions and their indicators, a list of international rankings, a list of special editions on KCs, a bibliography, and a directory of related sites on the Internet.
