| Publisher Description: This special issue of REGION (http: //region.ersa.org) compiles papers dealing with "Well-being in Cities and Regions". This Special Issue was primarily inspired by the debates and discussions which took place during the 55th Congress of the European Regional Science Association in Lisbon, on August 2015. In that context, three special sessions were organised to discuss the topic of "Well-being in cities and regions: measurement, analysis and policy practices". The congress also hosted a semi-plenary session on how the measurement of well-being at local level can improve the design of policies. After the event, four papers were selected to be included in this special issue. They cover important aspects of the measurement and analysis of well-being at regional and urban level. The volume includes articles by Arthur Grimes, Judd Ormsby, Anna Robinson and Siu Yuat Wong; Camilla Lenzi and Giovanni Perucca; Philip Morrison; Alessandra Michelangeli and Eugenio Peluso; and an introductory editorial by Paolo Veneri and Arjen J. E. Edzes. |
