Footprints of Regional Science

The Regional Science Academy (TRSA) is an important growth point for Regional Science. Since early 2016, a highly successful series of Academy sessions has been held at locations throughout the world, focusing on The Voice of Regional Science (general and strategic reflections on new topics in regional science) and Great Minds in Regional Science (presenting in each case a contemporaneous view on the scientific relevance of a great thinker in regional science). Both sets of mini-lectures (sometimes complemented with additional contributions) have been expanded into chapters now being published as two sub-series under the auspices of The Regional Science Academy, and jointly forming a book series entitled Footprints in Regional Science, under the general editorship of Kingsley Haynes, Karima Kourtit and Peter Nijkamp.

The book series Great Minds in Regional Science showcases the work of great thinkers in regional science and provides a contemporaneous perspective on their scientific achievements and relevance. This sub-series is edited by Peter Batey and David Plane.

The book series The Voice of Regional Science presents general and strategic reflections on new topics in regional science. This sub-series is edited by Bruce Newbold, Vicente Royuela Mora and Marie Hårsman Wahlström.
