Information about the RSAIBIS
Regional Science is an expanding field devoted to the development of theory
and method in urban and regional analysis and policy. It has a conscious aim
of cutting across the traditional disciplinary approaches to these issues.
The British and Irish Section of the Regional Science Association was
founded in 1968. The Section organises an annual conference that attracts
speakers and participants from Europe, North America, and other parts of the
world. This event provides an excellent opportunity for British and Irish
Section Members to meet and discuss new developments in regional science.
