Territorial development: towards a dynamic and innovative understanding

Andre Torre

Regional Studies, 2025, vol. 59, issue 1, 2465657

Abstract: This editorial discusses the notion of territorial development to show that it is grounded in related or previous notions such as local or regional development, and that it enlarges them and encompasses concepts such as places, districts, clusters and ecosystems. The strength of the notion of territorial development lies in the fact that it rests on two legs: the relations of production and also modes of governance. This is why territorial innovations of all kinds (technological, organisational, social, institutional) are based on a deep understanding of the territory, which implies taking into account all the stakeholders present on the territory, and that they are at the origin of the project dynamics that determine the past and future evolution of local systems.
