This paper aims to analyze urban characteristics of technology knowledge creation by comparing 138 cities over the world. We use technology international patents as the dependent variable. Various independent variables are identified from literature, economic, urban, social infrastructure. We use the regression analysis. The analysis finds that cities with higher human capital (more educated people), more business services, higher urban livability (better climate environment, more health care service, and stronger local public finance) yield more international patents.
