Abstract

[This chapter takes a retrospective approach to the advances and contributions of regional science. It further argues that regional sciences are currently on the verge of a remarkable change resulting from the growing pressures, social, environmental, and economic felt in the Anthropocene. Regional Science, however, offers ubiquitous methods that together with economics and geography may well revolutionize the status quo of decision making and governance. The strongest aid is found in the evolution of geo-computation and artificial intelligence, which paves a new way for regional science to define itself as a fundamental field within the social sciences. The example of Canada is brought as an outstanding witness to the Zeitgeist of the regional science revolution. By framing the importance of regional science, as well as the integration of novel techniques that have strengthened the field over the recent decades, I further explore new directions Regional Science may take when considering the contributions to the present and future of times facing unprecedented challenges for humankind.]
