The global economic slowdown poses major concerns to many territories \u2013 through shortfalls in employment, household incomes, corporate profitability and tax revenues. The steel industry has been one of the hardest hit, forcing massive plant closures and redundancies from China to the UK. Austerity in public finances threatens the infrastructure required to lay the foundation for future growth and development. Economic uncertainties and uneven development also contribute to growing social unrest and new waves of international migration. Heightened regulation of the banks and other financial institutions is bound to have an impact on the funding of house-building and other real estate development, with uncertain consequences. Meanwhile the accelerating pace of technological change in many industries and occupations means different skills and capabilities are required of the workforce, causing painful adjustments for many communities. And looming concerns about climate change and accelerating environmental degradation complicate the task of urban and regional revitalisation.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.regionalstudies.org\/conferences\/conference\/rsawinter2016\">See details\u00a0for this Conference here&#8230;<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/events2600.live-website.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/RSA.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-5789\" src=\"https:\/\/events2600.live-website.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/RSA-300x254.jpg\" alt=\"RSA\" width=\"300\" height=\"254\" srcset=\"https:\/\/events2600.live-website.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/RSA-300x254.jpg 300w, https:\/\/events2600.live-website.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/RSA.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>24 \u2013 25 November 2016 London The Regional Studies Association Winter Conference 2016 NEW PRESSURES ON CITIES AND REGIONS Holiday Inn Bloomsbury, London, UK Abstract submission deadline: 24th August 2016 &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/events2600.live-website.com\/?p=5788\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">New Pressures on Cities &#038; Regions<\/span> <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[2,8],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-5788","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-event","category-ihbc-areas-of-competence-professional"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/events2600.live-website.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5788","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/events2600.live-website.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/events2600.live-website.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/events2600.live-website.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/events2600.live-website.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=5788"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/events2600.live-website.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5788\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":5811,"href":"https:\/\/events2600.live-website.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5788\/revisions\/5811"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/events2600.live-website.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=5788"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/events2600.live-website.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=5788"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/events2600.live-website.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=5788"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
