Regional Studies Association

Welcome to the global and interdisciplinary forum for city and regional research, development, and policy. The Regional Studies Association (RSA) is a learned society dedicated to advancing the understanding of regions and regional issues. Through our international membership, we provide an authoritative voice and valuable networking opportunities for academics, students, practitioners, and policymakers. The RSA’s publications and events make us a leading platform for sharing knowledge and shaping the field of regional studies. Our members come from diverse disciplines, including economics, geography, urban studies, political science, planning, and sociology, and represent academia, policymakers, and practitioners across the world. We champion methodological diversity and the bridging of theory, policy, and practice. With an active community of PhD students, early career researchers, and networks such as our Women’s Network, the RSA fosters a vibrant and inclusive space for innovation and collaboration.
