Regionomist

Regionomist is a blog I started about the role of space in economics. The idea is to write about issues in Europe and around the world about the interaction of agglomeration and development, transportation and business. Like why cities exist and develop or why some regions are richer than others. Or what impact transportation may have on development. How companies decide about where to locate a new plant and how business conditions may affect it. Sure, its mostly economics but we are interested in geography, transport, urban development or even architecture. So far partners include ELTE University and Central European University.
