Abstract: Metropolis process plays a major role in the development of European space, a process in which metropolises have become engines of growth and main nodal points of innovation, in the sense that the economies created by the metropolises and the benefits of the activities carried out at their level are propagated to a smaller urban centers from every country. Because there are fundamental differences between the way heavily urbanized and deeply rural regions are managed, between major metropolises and small and medium-sized cities, between territories with barriers and obstacles to development and the more uniform territories, generally without obstacles, there can be no universally valid policies. Policies must be adapted to the specificity of the place where they are applied, in order to capitalize on their endogenous and territorial potential.
