Population - Poverty Relationship and Territorial Development

Abstract

Territorial development is a complex and dynamic process of transforming the national space and, implicitly, its profile, a process in which economic growth of the regions is pursued, the sustainable development of functional dimensions and the elimination of disparities and inequalities at national and regional levels. In the current European context, characterized by low growth rates and chronic and increased regional imbalances, territorial development has become a general priority for improving living conditions and employment and, implicitly, urbanization to reduce territorial imbalances.
