Abstract: Temporary clusters, such as the international trade fairs, represent the value of flow space. The existing academic literatures show that, temporary clusters are becoming the new focus on the economic geography research. Comparing with permanent industrial clusters, temporary clusters can overcome the difficulties of knowledge locked and promote the coordination and connection between the local interaction and global networks, and it can promote the establishment of knowledge exchange and the relationships among firms from different permanent industry clusters. Temporary clusters are the new platform of beneficial cooperation among firms. Current researches on temporary clusters have focused on: temporary geographical proximity and face–to-face contact, knowledge flows and relational platforms, location selection, the relationship between temporary clusters and permanent industrial clusters, which have formed some preliminary consensus. According to the current research, this paper puts forward some new implications.

摘要： 由于可以有效避免永久性产业集群面临的知识锁定困境，较好地解析流动空间的价值，临时性产业集群正日益成为国际经济地理学研究的新热点。本文在临时性产业集群概念辨析的基础上，对其代表性文献从地理临近与面对面交流、知识流动与关系平台、区位选择、临时性产业集群与永久性产业集群的关系等四方面进行了梳理。最后针对临时性产业集群研究与实践方面出现的一些问题与薄弱环节进行反思，并在此基础上展望临时性产业集群未来的研究方向。
