Growth and Change

Scope

Growth and Change: A Journal of Urban and Regional Policy welcomes manuscripts from scholars and professionals in all disciplines and specialties. Contributions from economics, geography, regional science, urban and regional planning, public finance, sociology, and agricultural economics are particularly encouraged. Increasingly we are interested in submissions that bring a multi-disciplinary perspective to bear on the problems addressed. Both policy and theoretical implications of topics and a focus on urban and regional development in domestic and international contexts are very appropriate. Innovative approaches and manuscripts, which address currently relevant issues in both global and national contexts, are sought. Examples of research that relate to urban and regional development include themes of innovation and technology, the digital economy, global production networks and their impact at a variety of geographic scales, entrepreneurship, economic restructuring (labor issues, outsourcing, knowledge workers), transportation (sustainability issues, travel behaviors, logistics and supply chain for competitive advantage), urban economics, rural futures and agriculture in the global economy.
