Résumé

In the following paragraphs, I shall attempt to briefly describe how and why regional science, both as a field of study and a policy science, has changed since its founding in the 1950’s. Regional Science has gone through a period of profound change in recent years, some would say through a period of crisis and decline. The term “Regional Science” is used here in a generic sense to cover the broad range of social science inquiry devoted to issues of regional development in various forms. In most nations, scholars in the field regroup around regional science associations or associations with similar labels such as the Associaçaõ Portuguesa para o Desenvolimento Regional (APDR). The analysis proposed below is in part personal, influenced by the author’s experience, first as a student of regional science at the University of Pennsylvania in the 1960’s, and after that, as a practitioner and scholar of regional economic development in Canada.
