Call for papers on urban-rural linkages
There is an opportunity to contribute to a scientific paper on 'Urban-rural linkages' related to food policy, climate or biodiversity protection.
Could you contribute a scientific paper on 'Urban-rural linkages'? The Regional Science Policy & Practice (RSPP) is planning a special issue on this topic. This special issue aims to renew the international debate on urban-rural linkages. In particular, it explores recent methods of delineating flows between urban and rural areas and the potential conflicts associated with them. It also promotes the dissemination of new evidence on coordinated policies and strategies to strengthen urban-rural linkages, implement integrated territorial development plans and resolve territorial conflicts. Empirical studies and case study analyses from around the world are welcome. Contributions that analyse territorial policies at the local level that relate to food policy, climate, biodiversity protection and ecosystem clustering (the list is not exhaustive) will be accepted. Studies that address the vision of sustainable urbanisation and peri-urbanisation are also welcome. Researchers should apply by 31 December 2023.
