The presentation of the main argument starts with a synopsis of the successive efforts, sucesses and failures, of spatial development planning, especially after the energy crisis of the 1970s. The second step focuses upon the local/global relationships as a question of multi-level spatial integration. This symbiotic relationship intensifi es with the pace of globalisation and transcends national economies and even international groupings. Finally, instead of conclusion there is a comment on the resilience of regions with reference to the recent economioc crisis.
