A platform for research: civil engineering, architecture and urbanism
Abstract. This essay reacts to the idea of crisis implied in earlier reviews of regional science and suggests that ongoing methodological debates in the fields of geography and economics provide many opportunities for regional scientists. The recent shift away from spatial analysis to social theory in geography has not found much support in regional science, but it is the implications of postmodernism that should be of most concern. Recent trends in economics have shown that lively debates can occur without embracing every new intellectual fashion. Regional science has much to gain from engagements in such debates as we approach the fin de millennium.
