3rd Annual Conference on Regional Science (ACRS 3) 2021
CALL FOR PAPER FOR THE VIRTUAL CONFERENCE
Regional Development at the Time of Uncertainty
Conference Theme
Any development decision needs to consider uncertainty of future events which may impact implementation of development plans. With globalization, nations are interconnected now. Problems in one region has its domino effect on other regions. The ongoing pandemic makes it amply clear. The development planners are confronted with an uphill task of choosing a path to development because of increasing uncertainty in future due to unprecedented and unanticipated problems with different magnitudes.
