A chapter in Fifty Years of Regional Science, 2004, pp 5-29 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract This Golden Anniversary Issue, The Brightest of Dawns: 50 Years of Regional Science has been written on the occasion of the fiftieth anniversary of the founding of the Regional Science Association International (RSAI). The title represents our belief that the multiregional field of regional science has now been firmly established. A sound scholarly foundation, grounded in social science theory, has been laid. The toolkit of powerful techniques for applied regional analysis is an ever-expanding one. And the institutional basis is now solidly established, with a plethora of active regional science associations, domestic and international conferences galore, a host of well-established regional science journals, a number of interdisciplinary academic programmes, and numerous prestigious regional research institutes. Today, regional scientists carry out their craft not just within the academic departments of the world’s leading universities, but also in government agencies and the business sector.
