Beskrivning

This incisive book presents conceptual and empirical insights to illustrate how regions can adopt sustainable industry practices in response to climate change. Contributing authors assess regional restructuring from multiple angles, examining case studies and empirical evidence.Taking an interdisciplinary approach, the book features contributions from economic geography and regional innovation studies that provide an approachable overview of the subject, and proposes fresh development strategies and policies to support sustainable transformations. Chapters demonstrate the role of culture in sustainable regional restructuring and shed light on industries such as salmon farming, oil and gas as examples of adaptive capacity and agency. They address regional green initiatives and digital transitions in local businesses, outlining workforce adaptation and challenge oriented regional innovation systems as concepts warranting further research.An essential read for students and academics in economic geography and regional innovation studies, this book will also greatly benefit policymakers, practitioners and professionals interested in sustainable regional restructuring and development, including agencies and non-government organisations.

Recensioner i media

‘This book contributes substantially to our understanding of sustainable regional restructuring, moving away from a narrow focus on green industrial development to a framework that encompasses social and economic challenges, as well as public benefits. This is a highly welcome volume that draws on theoretical and empirical work to develop an agenda for those academics and policy makers addressing the dynamics and challenges of regional sustainability challenges.’
