A ROADMAP FOR A NEW MINDSET IN REGIONAL SCIENCE: THE REGIONAL SCIENCE ACADEMY

Abstract

This contribution argues that the great many spatial challenges of our world and the emerging spatial dynamics call for new modes of thinking on regional science research. The creation of a Regional Science Academy may be helpful in meeting this novel demand. The much needed radical and new perspective on the future of our space economy is illustrated by a concise challenging exposition on the consequences of the ongoing "˜New Urban World' which might eventually turn into a "˜Post-Urban World'. The Regional Science Academy may be instrumental in developing such ideas.
