The debate about the economic impact of decentralization has been misguided.

Extremely honoured to have been awarded the 2020 Best Paper prize in Regional Studies.
Very grateful to the editors, for their trust in my research, and to my co-authors Lewis Dijkstra & Hugo Poelman, without whom this award would have been impossible.

Increasingly our social and economic future depends on #cities , but, in order to truly understand and improve cities, we need to have far better and more homogeneous definitions and measurements of what cities are. Lewis Dijkstra at #ersa2019Lyon

A thwarted no-deal by UK Parl. + anticipated elections perfect scenario for Boris Johnson: he gets another chance to campaign as fact-free clown rather than irresponsible kamikaze. My column today in NRC (in Dutch). Tnx Fintan O'Toole.

We had another message for the #TourdeFrance in Brussels yesterday, one for which we needed the cameraman in the heli. Alas, this one didn't make it past the censor 😅. #GrandDepartBxl #tourdeforce

Thanks to the Utrecht team and ANDREA MORRISON for the titanic job of leading the bid, and to all other teams involved. LSE Geography & Environment team Riccardo Crescenzi Neil Lee Andrés Rodríguez-Pose look forward to collaborating in this exciting project!

Le clivage villes-campagnes n’est pas le seul critère du #vote anti-européen. Ce sont les territoires en déclin, notamment ceux qui ont subi un long déclin industriel qui se révèlent les plus #eurosceptiques
