Call for papers - Special Issue of the International Journal of Knowledge-Based Development: Connecting Cities and Universities at Strategic Frontiers

Submitted by Josef Konvitz on November 5, 2015 - 11:53

*** Deadline for submission of papers: 15 December 2015 ***

This special issue will focus on strategic knowledge-based development frontiers in employment, migration, health, food security and climate change, and cultural engagement. These global issues pose problems at every level, down to micro-districts. They are strategic because what happens will determine the kind of cities and regions in which we will live. They are on the frontier because they generate conflict or could lead to greater co-operation. And they are critical to knowledge-based development because we do not know how to solve them; indeed, we do not even know how to cope with them very well, unsolved.

Communicating in plain language, avoiding academic “silos”, developing “narratives” -- keys to City and Region Learning

Submitted by Larry Swanson on November 25, 2014 - 11:27

The ways that cities and regions can truly advance themselves in meaningful ways hinges upon their ability to think and act as cities and regions.  Getting to the point where this may be accomplished is a long and difficult road, to say the least.  Learning is at the center of this, which is at the core of PASCAL.
