Societies in motion : innovation, migration and regional transformation

edited by Amnon Frenkel (associate professor of urban and regional planning, technion - Israel Institute of Technology, Israel) Peter Nijkamp (Adam Mickiewicz University, Poznan, Poland, Jheronimus Academy of Data Science (JADS) in 's-Hertogenbosch, the Netherlands and the Universitatea Alexandru Ioan Cuza din Iasi, Iasi, Romania) and Philip McCann (Alliance Manchester Business School, The University of Manchester, UK)

In today's globalised world, modern society is characterized by rapid transitions in space that are in part the result of technological developments of previous decades. This unique book deals with the complex issues raised by these transformations, focusing particularly on the impacts on regional development, technological innovation, and the flows and mobility of ideas, knowledge, people and firms. Societies in Motion examines the dynamic forces of technological and institutional change that are affecting the design of society, the economy and the environment, and provides a base for policy-makers to develop new systems for a better, more sustainable future. The leading contributors adopt a systems approach to mobility exploring knowledge, ideas, flows of information and creativity, human capital and transportation. Authoritative and detailed, this book is an ideal source of analysis and debate for research scholars and students of regional science, economics and geography. Policymakers will also find plenty of invaluable information in this original volume
