Stough Outstanding Mentor Award<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n This award is named in honor of Professor Roger R. Stough. In addition to being a renowned scholar and contributor to the development of Regional Science, Roger was an outstanding mentor to dozens of graduate students and junior faculty members. This award recognizes regional scientists who have been exceptional mentors to students, junior faculty members and underrepresented populations and communities over a lifelong career. <\/p>\n\n\n\n 2020 Peter Nijkamp<\/a> Special Recognition Awards<\/strong> The following individuals have received Special Awards:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n 1995 Beth Carbonneau The William Alonso Memorial Prize for Innovative Work in Regional Science<\/strong> The William Alonso Memorial Prize for Innovative Work in Regional Science was established in 1999 to honor the memory of a revered, pioneering scholar. In 1960 William Alonso was awarded the first Ph.D. in Regional Science by the University of Pennsylvania. The book based on his dissertation, Location and Land Use <\/em>(Harvard University Press, 1964), is often credited with launching the field of urban economics. He made numerous major contributions to the study of migration, regional development, and the politics of numbers, and his work ranged from meticulous mathematical theory to far-ranging think pieces. William Alonso was Assistant and Associate Professor of Regional Planning at Harvard University (1959-67), Professor of Regional Planning at the University of California, Berkeley (1966-76), and Richard Saltonstall Professor of Population Policy at Harvard (1976-99).<\/p>\n\n\n\n The objective of the Prize is to recognize the recent innovative research contribution of Regional Science scholars in the spirit of Dr. William Alonso. Previous Prize Winners are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n 2002 Masahisa Fujita and Paul Krugman, The Spatial Economy<\/em> (MIT Press, 1999) 2016 David Boyce and Huw Williams, Forecasting Urban Travel: Past, Present and Future (Edward Elgar, 2015)<\/em> 2019 Richard L. Church and Alan Murray, Location Covering Models (2018 Springer)<\/em> Although occasionally awarded to an article, the Alonso Prize is primarily a book prize. A book\u2019s key idea might have been presented first in a journal article, such as Alonso\u2019s \u201cA Theory of the Urban Land Market,\u201d Papers of the Regional Science Association,<\/em> 1960, but its fuller development and synthesis with other work can make the book innovative and eligible for the Prize.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Nominations for the next prize to be announced in 2021 are invited by the Alonso Prize Committee. They may come from any individual or organization including book publishers, university departments, government agencies, and other public or private entities. Each organizations is limited to make two nominations for each occasion. The deadline for nominations is July 1, 2021.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Members of the Prize Committee include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Professor Roberta Capello, Chair, Politecnico di Milano, roberta.capello@polimi.it<\/a> At the annual North American conference of the RSAI, the NARSC Council bestows the following awards.
