Editors: "Paul Benneworth’s academic career was cut short at the age of 46 after just over 24 years of work as a researcher and academic. His death was completely unexpected and sudden, and it was the combination of the unexpectedness and the contribution he had made to the literature, and perhaps more importantly to the academic community, which stimulated us to develop a memorial volume in which we could pay tribute to that contribution and to illustrate a little of what he had achieved. Paul made an enormous contribution to the literature, mainly on universities, but also on regional development."
