Analysis of economies has gone through a cycle of trends and fashions. In this trajectory the continuing importance of regional and urban economics has sometimes been overlooked.

For over 40 years the Urban and Regional Economics Seminar Group (URESG) has sought to maintain a focus on and a fulcrum for examining and understanding this important field of endeavour.

Through its membership networks and the events it organises URSEG seeks to maintain this field in academic, policy and practice discourses.

It also seeks to provide an economic underpinning to the activities of cognate organisations and networks.
