Issue 26 โ Infrastructure, Connectivity, and Regional Resilience
Spatial Infrastructure, Connectivity, and the Resilience of Regional Systems
This issue examines the role of infrastructureโboth physical and socio-technicalโin shaping regional connectivity and resilience amid multiple forms of systemic disruption (economic, environmental, and technological). Key explorations include:
- The integration of hard infrastructure (transport, digital networks) with emerging infrastructural logics (energy systems, data ecosystems)
- Connectivity as a dimension of accessibility, economic integration, and regional innovation capacity
- Resilience frameworks that respond to climate risks, supply chain volatility, and demographic shifts
Priority topics:
- Spatial economy, housing, and infrastructure transitions
- Linking infrastructure connectivity with inclusive regional development
- Resilience strategies at local, national, and cross-border scales
