The RSA works with its international membership to facilitate the

the urban and rural and different conceptions of space such as cityregions and interstitial spaces.
The Association’s journals, magazines and books, along with our
global-to-local series of conferences and events position us as a key

science. Members come from economics, geography, political
science, planning and sociology backgrounds. Most work in
academia but many are working in policy and practice, and
membership is truly global.
