Dear colleagues, Please find enclosed the Call for Proposals for a special session of the Regional Studies Association European Conference 2012 on : "Financialisation and the built environment: what does it mean for city-regions?" The main objectives of the session are: 1) To link financialization processes to the production of the city-regional built environment; 2) To analyze the economic geographies of finance capital flows in the sectors related to the built environment, with regard to different types of urban and regional physical assets: property, infrastructure, large-scale urban projects, etc.; 3) To explore the impacts of finance capital on the making and working of city-regions in terms of economic, social, environmental, political and planning dimensions; and 4) To assess the virtues and limits of the different theoretical approaches at hand.
