Abstract

In recent years the Journal of Economic Geography has contributed notably to the growth of the study of resilience in regional and urban studies. Reflecting back on this literature, in this brief Commentary we seek to highlight the need for theoretical and empirical research on the idea of ‘resilience building’ as a core policy imperative in today’s turbulent and unstable world.
