The creative economy is less a series of spontaneous eruptions and more a matter of historical plumbing. Büyükyazıcı & @evacoll8.bsky.social show in @regionalstudies.bsky.social that hubs are built on latent skills, not conjured from thin air. #Culture by habit, not miracle. doi.org/10.1080/0034...

Map of geographic features for an unidentified city

Is it really #30DayMapChallenge if there's no geography challenge? Day 14 (OpenStreetMap) comes with a question: given an idiosyncratic city and several key identifying features, how hard is it to guess the city?

What can I say, I have a terminal fear of being boring.

(There's actual research content in there, I swear!)

Fantastic talk. Thank you

To hollow out #cohesion is to erode the #EU’s credibility from within.
In my brand new @regionalstudies.bsky.social paper, I argue that #Europe’s competitiveness and very viability depends less on emulating competitors and more on exploiting our latent potential.
DOI: doi.org/10.1080/0034...

Competitiveness thrives on cohesion, not concentration.
My brand new article in @regionalstudies.bsky.social makes the case for unlocking #Europe’s full potential, wherever it can be found, as #cohesion is the foundation of #competitivenes, not its antithesis.
doi.org/10.1080/0034...

#Europe faces not a choice between #efficiency and #equity but the need to reconcile both if it wants to become more competitive.
As I argue in my new @regionalstudies.bsky.social paper, a more centralised #EU will thin its own strength by silencing its citizens' voices.
