| Description |
Regional science is turning 40. Once the harbinger of a person's imminent death, becoming 40 now ushers in a period of apprehension and reflection-the mid-life crisis. It is a time to confront the dreams of youth, take stock of the present, ponder the path that led from there to here, and discern future possibilities. If all goes well, reflection and self-assessment lead to a renewed sense of purpose and to the self-understanding, resolve, and motivation that will shape the next 40 years. Regional science has much to gain from a deliberate effort to assess its condition, directions, and options. I attempt to do so here, but, of course, one person and one paper cannot suffice for such a task. This paper will serve its goal if it sparks thought, discussion, and action leading to both a better understanding of regional science and a more vigorous and useful regional science.
