Abstract: This paper focuses on how the development of a particular region consistently requires actors to share a certain level of cognitive resources. In the case studied here ? the Nord Pas-de-Calais region, this cognitive proximity is built via the local policies involving sustainable development. In order to comprehend the way local communities of the region activate this resource, we used textual data treatment analyzing about thirty interviews. The results suggest that this cognitive proximity relies on two fundamentals elements : on the one hand, valuing the patrimonial infrastructures of the territory ; and on the other hand, rebuilding the territorial identity of the region. Then the local policies lean both on the values that underlie these elements and on rhetorical modalities, to impulse in-depth changes that would have been more difficult to implement from the usual political levers.
