The debate about the economic impact of decentralization has been misguided.
It should not be about whether more #decentralization is needed, but about whether the resources subnational #governments have suffice for the responsibilities they face.

#CohesionPolicy has been at forefront of EU response supporting healthcare and providing substantial liquidity to businesses. It proved to be agile & effective in adapting rapidly to the crisis.

The regional impact of #Covid19 shows that 🇪🇺territories were hit unevenly.
The #CohesionReport (europa.eu/!Rv9XXt) provides data to shape present and future policies.

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

We will no longer compare 🏙️#cities as 🍎apples & 🍊oranges… but as different kinds of apples!
Our new harmonised city definitions will help to build smart, sustainable and inclusive cities.

On Friday, 11.00 we have a special session on the #geography of #discontent (S43-S2) with @mariaaabreu, @DijkstraLewis and @rodriguez_pose! Interested? Perhaps you (also) want to contribute to our #RSPP special issue on ‘regional voting patterns’! regionalscience.org/index.ph…

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. @DijkstraLewis at #ersa2019Lyon

A thwarted no-deal by UK Parl. + anticipated elections perfect scenario for @BorisJohnson: he gets another chance to campaign as fact-free clown rather than irresponsible kamikaze. My column today in @nrc (in Dutch). Tnx @fotoole.

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

Great graphics. US Democrats have gone from being a center-right to a center-left party; the GOP from a right-wing party to an extreme right-wing party, closer to Germany's neo-Nazis than to the global center. nytimes.com/interactive/2019…

Thanks to the Utrecht team and @morrisonXandrea for the titanic job of leading the bid, and to all other teams involved. @LSEGeography team @crescenzi_r @ndrlee @rodriguez_pose look forward to collaborating in this exciting project!
Delighted to announce @LSEGeography has been awarded €606,345 funding from the Horizon 2020 Marie Skłodowska-Curie Innovative Training Networks Scheme for POLISS (Policies for Smart Specialisation) - congratulations to @IammarinoSimona on this major achievement! @LSEnews @LSE_RI

The rural-urban divide is not the only factor behind the anti-European #vote. Economic stagnation, especially in areas suffering from long industrial decline, is the main driver of #euroscepticism

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

@DijkstraLewis at #RSASdC : yes we need to measure cross border flows, but those flows that do not exist because of the border. The challenge is to measure the potential interactions in #EUBorderRegions
