Abstract
There are at least three basic factors that must be emphasized in accounting for the development of regional science and the formation of the Regional Science Association International, RSAI. One is the state of affairs at the start of the period when regional science began to develop. Another concerns the events, processes and structural elements of the world that conditioned and led to the entrepreneurial activity of relevant personalities. Still another must account for the existence and provision of resources and the potential for a scientific thrust that made possible the development of a new field of study.
