This book brings together the emerging trends and techniques
incorporated in regional science during the first two decades of
this millennium. The book includes systematic and analytical notes
making scientific commentary on the innovative methods of regional
development, measurement of the development, regional development
models, and policy measures that have significant implications and
wide applicability instrumental for India as well as the other
global south countries. There is clear evidence in the global south
of the uneven spatial distribution of resources, economic
activities, literacy, and health conditions. The most striking fact
is the coexistence of development and underdevelopment that makes
the planning process complicated. This can hardly be explored
without taking a deep insight into the matter of how the regional
parameters are impacting regional society or economy to shape the
development of that region. There can be no effective global policy
framework that will be effective equally for each and every region
to mitigate local issues of society or economy. It is here that the
book integrates the efforts of practitioners working towards
addressing these regional issues and striving for sustainable
regional development through their innovative ideas. Through its
contributions, the book addresses development issues, regional
impact of climate change, social justice, migration, well-being,
livelihood vulnerabilities, and regional urban-environmental issues
from the standpoint of regional science. It is a significant
resource for researchers of spatial science, and policy makers.

This book, through a bunch of systematic and analytical notes and
scientific commentaries, acquaints the readers with the innovative
methods of regional development, measurement of the development in
regional scale, regional development models, and policy
prescriptions. Conceptualizing development as a regional process is
a geographer's brainchild, and the sense of region has long been
rooted deeply in the fundamental research practices that
geographers are accustomed to. The geographical perspective of
regions entails conceptualizing them nested horizontally as the
formal region and hierarchical relationships in space with spatial
flows or interactions as the functional region. In geographical
research, the region works as a tool by serving as a statistical
unit of analysis. More importantly, however, regions serve as the
fundamental spatial units of management and planning by specifying
a territory or a part of it for which a certain spatial development
or regulatory plan is sought. This book addresses the complex
processes in different regions of the world, particularly South
Asia, to perceive the regional development planning involved and
the sustainable management practiced there. The book is a useful
resource for socio-economic planners, policymakers, and policy
researchers.
