Context
The
process of globalisation cannot be seen as something unconnected with the identity of the territories because Efficient Public Policies for Territorial Development increasingly depend on the density and quality of relationships and cooperation. Territorial Development, therefore, is a different, effective way of interpreting and acting on a local level in the current context of globalisation, which requires us to work on a dimension of Local Development focused on political, social and economic participation, articulation and consensus.
Public Policies for the promotion of Territorial Development
must include a series of short, medium and long-term actions whose objective is to develop competitive systems for territorial promotion, generate jobs and income and an equitable economy in its area of influence through integrated cross-sectoral actions at different levels of government. It is necessary to intensify Territorial Decentralisation in the design of public policies and Institutional Coordination between the different territorial levels of public administrations (central, regional, provincial and municipal), and Public-Private Cooperation between all of the key territorial stakeholders and in the generation of areas of collaboration and synergies, which make it possible to create common knowledge about the future of the territory and the challenges to be met.
