The Demonstrators were back outside parliament in Kiev, except this time they were of a different hue to those who produced Ukraine's Orange Revolution in late 2004. New elections are likely, but will the results be any more decisive than in the past? Adapted from the source document.

Since the emergence of urban systems, cities have developed in a mutually inter-dependent process of socio-economic dynamics and transportation linkages. In recent years, Airports worldwide have stepped beyond the stage of being pure infrastructure facilities while the complex dynamics that are taking place at and around international airports represent a crucial element in the post-industrial reorganisation of urban and regional systems. Airports are increasingly recognized as general urban activity centres; that is, key assets for cities and regions as economic generators and catalysts of investment in addition to being critical components of efficient city infrastructure. This book brings together contributions from renowned academic scholars and world leading practitioners to discuss insights gained from theory and practice. The first collection of papers reflects upon the general role and future of airports as well as their specific contribution to competitive advantages within a fast changing business and economic landscape. The second group of contributions ask about the role airports play within the innovation process that is inherently centred on generating and sharing knowledge. The third section of papers investigates the drivers of real estate developments on airport land and in the close vicinity of airports.

A decline in the differences between regions has been occurring in a number of demographic and socioeconomic aspects. Religion is one of several areas in which regional differences persist. Zelinsky's classification of seven religious regions remains standard. Americans migrating from one part of America to another are aware of this, and recent research supports popular perceptions. Migrants have been shown to be more likely to adapt to the level of religious commitment of the new region than to be dislocated by the move. As long as this remains true, migration should not be accompanied by a decline in the distinctiveness of religious regions. The continuing strength of the historically prominent denominations in the several regions is impressive.

Although demographic & SE differences between regions of the US have declined, religion is one area in which regional differences persist. Wilbur Zelinsky's classification of seven religious regions remain standard ("An Approach to the Religious Geography of the United States: Patterns of Church Membership in 1952," Annals of the Association of American Geographers, 1961, 51, June, 139-193) remains standard. Americans migrating from one part of the US to another are aware of this, & recent research supports popular perceptions. Migrants have been shown to be more likely to adapt to the level of religious commitment of the new region than to be dislocated by the move. As long as this remains true, migration should not be accompanied by a decline in the distinctiveness of religious regions.
