Polycentricity: can we make it happen? From a concept to its implementation
This article argues that between the adoption of the European Spatial Development Perspective (ESDP; 1999) and today, the concept of polycentricity has changed: the footprint of the French aménagement du territoire, characterized by the quest for a more harmonious distribution of population and growth, has faded, leaving room for a more differentiated approach aiming to ‘make the best of territorial diversity’ in a globalized, competitive environment. Its implementation remains in the hands of national and local stakeholders and ensuring their commitment calls for a reinvigoration of governance. France has undergone a similar change and is trying to implement a new policy to enhance polycentricism.
