Chairperson - Department of City and Regional Planning

The Department of City and Regional Planning (CRP) in the College of Architecture, Art and Planning at Cornell University invites applications for a dynamic, visionary leader to serve as the Department Chair for a renewable three-year term, to be appointed at the associate or full professor level. Areas of specialization are open. The faculty in CRP are committed to teaching and scholarship that values diversity, equity, social justice, environmental sustainability and furthers these values in the planning, design, and governance of cities.

The next Chairperson will be an internationally known scholar with the ability to be strategic about CRP’s future opportunities, who can build on the record for scholarly and professional excellence that CRP has established since its inception more than 80 years ago. We seek a scholar and administrative leader committed to supporting innovative research and scholarship, engaged learning and community outreach, professional excellence and service, and who is supportive of partnerships and collaborative work both inside and outside the college and university. The qualifications of the candidate should be consistent with a tenured appointment at the level of an associate or full professor, with a Ph.D. in urban planning or a related field.

The Chair is responsible for providing leadership and oversight of the department’s academic programs and budgets and working with the department’s administrative manager to ensure a workplace that is supportive of faculty, staff, and students. In fulfilling these responsibilities, the chair will work in close collaboration with the department faculty and the college dean. The ideal candidate will help create an environment of collaboration, transparency, and shared governance. 

CRP is a top-ranked planning department with a full-time faculty of 17. Our faculty ranks among the top in the country for scholarly productivity and influence, with pre-eminence in many areas, including regional development, land-use and environmental dynamics, international development, historic preservation, and urban history. The new chair will lead a Department of City and Regional Planning that draws students from across the U.S. and the world. Our students earn: a Bachelor of Science in the liberal-arts Urban and Regional Studies program; a professional Master of Regional Planning; a Master of Arts in the Historic Preservation Planning Program; a Master in Regional Science; a Masters in the Baker Program in Real Estate; and Ph.D. degrees in City and Regional Planning and Regional Science. While the principal locus of academic and administrative activity is in Ithaca, NY, the Department has innovative study programs in Rome and New York City.

CRP also offers students and faculty exciting research and professional opportunities in collaboration with Cornell’s Atkinson Center for Sustainable Futures, the Einaudi Center for International Studies, Engaged Cornell, Center for the Study of Inequality, and the Public Service Center, among other multi-disciplinary venues. The Chair will play a key role in campus-wide initiatives related to environmental sustainability, international development, data analysis, public policy and the social sciences.

Summary of Volume 48 Investigaciones Regionales -  Journal of Regional Research

Volume 48 of the journal Investigaciones Regionales – Journal of Regional Research is dedicated to the study of Territorial Servitization. This special volume has been edited by Ferran Vendrell-Herrero (University of Birmingham), Esteban Lafuente (Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya) and Yancy Vaillant (TBS Business School). The three coordinators of the volume open it with an Editorial in which, in addition to introduce the published works, they summarize the body of existing knowledge on territorial servitization, quantify and map the servitization activity in the Spanish autonomous communities, and raise a number of issues still unresolved that deserve more academic attention

In this special issue, Araya, Horváth & Leiva provide more nuances on the antecedents of KIBS formation. They evaluate the catalytic power of manufacturing industry to promote change in the rate of business service firms, which constitutes a relevant antecedent to territorial servitization. More specifically, their study analyses the impact of quantitative characteristics (size and relative weight) of the manufacturing sector, while acknowledging the potentially moderating role of local competitive conditions that may explain the different dynamics in the rate of business service firms across territories. After employing panel-data models on a sample of 81 Costa Rican counties during 2010-2016, the findings are twofold. First, they demonstrate that structural change towards increased specialization in business services only takes place in counties with a large manufacturing base (a critical mass), while the relative weight of the industry within the local economy does not have an impact. Second, results indicate a substitution effect among the size of the manufacturing industry and local competitiveness: a competitive local environment can compensate the lack of a large manufacturing base, whereas a larger manufacturing base even in a low-competitive region can potentially contribute to increasing rates of business service firms.

A second contribution on the same domain is the article of Zubiaurre-Goena and Sisti. It uses a rich panel database covering the seventeen Spanish regions for the period 2000-2016 formed by merging secondary data from multiple sources (Spanish Statistical Office (INE), Eurostat, and BvD). Interestingly, the study recognizes KIBS heterogeneity by differentiating into three types: technical KIBS (T-KIBS), computer-related services (C-KIBS), and “traditional” professional services (P-KIBS). The results of the study suggest that KIBS antecedents depend on the type of KIBS analysed. Regions with stronger innovation systems are more likely to generate P-KIBS and T-KIBS, whereas regions with more manufacturing quality are more likely to generate C-KIBS.

Opazo-Basáez, Narvaiza-Cantín & Campos follow a qualitative approach to evaluate the importance of geographical proximity in the manufacturing-KIBS collaboration. They used two case studies in the Basque Country. In both cases, the manufacturing company is in the Basque Country. However, they collaborate with KIBS firms from different geographical areas, “inside” and “outside” the Basque region. Their evidence proposes that geographical distance plays a key role on the KIBS-Manufacturer relationship for servitization capacity, the greater the geographical proximity the better.

Seclen-Luna and Moya-Fernandez seek to evaluate to what extent the proximity to KIBS firms is beneficial to manufacturing firms’ capacity to innovate. Drawing on the World Bank Enterprise Survey (WBES) for eleven Latin-American countries, they analysed 3,029 manufacturing firms, with the purpose to uncover the relationship between KIBS co-locations and the innovativeness of the manufacturing firms. Findings indicated that manufacturing firms’ locations based on KIBS proximity, is a critical determinant of product innovation, which could facilitate the adoption of servitization strategies and introduce value-adding services into their operations.

Finally, Marino and Trapasso address a fundamental question: whether industrial policy is best designed based on the development of a knowledge intensive service economy having the same focus for all regions (one size fits it all) or if there are certain intrinsic characteristics that make it necessary for regions to customize their industrial policy. To respond this question, advanced and peripheral regions are considered (Wyrwich, 2019). The study analyses Italian regions for the period 2009 to 2014. It is found that the accumulation of capital and the ability to develop the service economy are main drivers of regional competitiveness. This means that peripheral regions with fewer resources (capital) and capacities (services) must redirect their efforts in achieving the necessary pre-conditions of territorial servitization. In other words, there are sufficient and necessary conditions to be able to develop territorial economic systems with a strength in knowledge-based services. In the case of not having said conditions, policy makers should first prioritize the construction of the said conditions.
