From the ground(water) up
Urban water stress is a growing problem across the world. How city authorities and urban residents respond profoundly shapes the resilience of cities. This paper examines households' perspectives on groundwater as a resource for resilience to water stress, the ways in which this shapes collective post-drought resilience in Cape Town, and the evolving governance challenges this invokes. Based on interviews with 32 residents we show that groundwate…
Decarbonisation, place attachment and agency
There is growing awareness that the effects of decarbonisation are highly spatial and will impact regions differentially. Old industrial regions are likely to be particularly affected but it is debateable how well equipped they are to engage with transition and for it to be just. Extant literature suggests that this will be highly contingent on the acceptability of this transition amongst old industrial communities, with a call to understand what…
Domestic groundwater abstraction in Lagos, Nigeria
The rapid development of groundwater systems as part of urban water supplies around the globe is raising critical questions regarding the sustainable management of this essential resource. Yet, in many major cities, the absence of an effective policy regime means that the practice of groundwater exploitation is driven by the actions of domestic households and drilling contractors. Understanding what shapes the decisions and practices of these act…
Shaping smart specialization
This paper examines the ways by which organizational and institutional features of regional innovation systems shape smart specialization practices in less-developed, intermediate and advanced regions. Drawing on research from 15 European regions, it shows that the implantation of smart specialization creates challenges in all three types of regions. At the same time, there is evidence that smart specialization supports policy-learning and system…
Innovation and regional economic resilience
The varying rates of recovery of European regional economies from the 2007 to 2008 economic crisis have raised interesting questions about the sources of economic resilience. Policy discourse has increasingly asserted the role played by innovation in facilitating rapid recovery from economic shocks, whilst evolutionary thinking has highlighted the specific importance of innovation capacity. However, empirical evidence on this is lacking. This pap…
Regional Growth Paths and Resilience
Research highlighting the differential resilience of economies to shocks opens up the possibility that long-run growth paths are associated with how regions cope with and recover from such shocks. To date, however, there has been limited exploration into whether long-run evolutionary growth paths or trajectories influence regional economic resilience and what types of trajectories might be more associated with resilience. This article explores th…
Social connectedness and depression
The associations between volunteering and health outcomes are well established. However, little research has identified the unique association between volunteering and health outcomes over and above the contribution of related social connectedness factors, such as social contact, group or organization membership, and social support provision; variables also implicated in health outcomes. Using large-scale cross-national cross-sectional survey dat…
Measuring Regional Economic Resilience across Europe
This paper describes an approach developed to measure regional economic resilience across Europe which is novel in three key dimensions. Firstly, it seeks to date regional downturns as opposed to assuming that all regional economies are affected by economic shocks at the same point in time; secondly, it measures the amplitude and duration of economic downturns and subsequent recoveries; and thirdly, as well as measuring recovery, it measures the …
Crisis response, choice and resilience
The recent global economic crisis has illuminated the need to open up the 'black box' which surrounds our understanding of the adaptive capacities of regional actors in the face of recessionary crises and how these relate to economic resilience. This paper contributes to this endeavour by developing a complex adaptive systems (CAS) framework for understanding who has agency within regional economies, how agency functions, and specifically what sh…
Regional Resilience
Bristow G. and Healy A. Regional resilience: an agency perspective, Regional Studies. This paper argues that in the nascent theorizing and empirical study of regional economic resilience, the role of human agency has been under-explored to date. In seeking to address this gap, the paper focuses on three key questions: why agency is important in resilience; how agents are organized in complex, regional economies and how they might act; and finally…
Spaces of Innovation
Healy A. and Morgan K. Spaces of innovation: learning, proximity and the ecological turn, Regional Studies. Contrary to the fashionable ‘death of distance’ thesis, the socio-spatial context for innovation remains as important as ever for firms, networks and the public institutions that tend to be neglected in orthodox narratives of learning. This article explores the changing socio-spatial dynamics of innovation through the medium of three argume…
