The creative economy is less a series of spontaneous eruptions and more a matter of historical plumbing. Büyükyazıcı & @evacoll8.bsky.social show in @regionalstudies.bsky.social that hubs are built on latent skills, not conjured from thin air. #Culture by habit, not miracle. doi.org/10.1080/0034...

#EU green spending can, some times, actually raise emissions, according to Marco Dueñas & Antoine Mandel in their brand new @regionalstudies.bsky.social paper.
Where #institutions are weak, #green budgets dissolve into near-term, high-emission expansion.

One cannot simply import a #Bordeaux blueprint into #Canada. As De Fuentes, Doloreux & Quilley show when mapping Nova Scotia’s rise to a vintage of the periphery (Journal of Rural Studies), it requires local grit & external support in equal measure.

#Brussels considers investment a universal solvent. It isn’t.
In Economic Modelling, Alvarez, Barbero, Orea & I show that local #institutions shape the returns of #investment. Where they are brittle, better invest in skills than in concrete. doi.org/10.1016/j.ec...

British #Universities fashion themselves as global engines of excellence. However, as Chaytor and Tomaney argue in
@politicalquarterly.bsky.social, locally, they increasingly look like extractive #industries: educating young people for jobs that exist elsewhere.

“Devolve, devolve, devolve.” Devolution is less a lifeline than a psychological permission slip.
As Hermelin shows in her new Planning Practice & Research paper, with #devolution, #Sweden’s outposts are turning from service desks to brokers by necessity, not wealth.

Drop the #Christmas socks. The real crisis isn't your gift list; it's the #DevelopmentTrap. Balland & @ronboschma.bsky.social show in @regionalstudies.bsky.social how regions lacking #complexity become haunted by their own history. Hard work won't save them—innovation will. doi.org/10.1080/0034...

Abbiamo trattato il #declino come assistenza anziché #sviluppo, pagando il solo esodo ai giovani migliori.
Su Avvenire con Pietro Saccò spiego perché —come scritto nel mio libro di Donzelli, nato dall'energia di Filippo Barbera— serve un cambio di rotta.

And help make Leiboyu a star scientist in the process! 😉

New paper:

Star scientists heavily clustered in a few cities

Please read and cite our paper and reinforce this concentration 👍

Did you know 12% of the world’s top #researchers cluster in just four #cities? In our brand new paper (with Xiang & @neillee.bsky.social) in Transactions of the Institute of British Geographers, the “flat world” is a gated archipelago. The #GlobalSouth remains excluded.

Scientific excellence is clustering ever more tightly in a few ‘superstar’ cities. Four—New York, Boston, London and the San Francisco Bay Area—now host 12% of the world's top scientists. In contrast....

The paradox of the #SEZ: its greatest strength—its distinctness—is frequently its fatal flaw.
As Kimura (@oecdlocal.bsky.social) argues, to be transformative rather than an expensive vanity, zones must shed their insularity and link fortunes to the broader regional economy.

Economic decline doesn’t always lead to #populism. The local political climate acts as a filter.
As Deppisch & @andreasklaerner.bsky.social argue in @regionalstudies.bsky.social, in some rural areas discontent leads to civic engagement. In others, it is a vehicle for revenge.

In #Ireland, the “Key #Town” is often presented in policy as a uniform strategic unit. Yet, new research by Ji, @niamhmcherry.bsky.social & @dfkogler.bsky.social in Geoforum uses PCA to reveal a complex typology of urban life that defies tidy, one-size-fits-all narratives. doi.org/10.1016/j.ge...
