Resumo (PT): O mundo faz-se de mudanças, de inovação, de resposta a desafios. As transições digitais, ecológica e para a sustentabilidade, aliadas a fenómenos globais mais ou menos imprevisíveis tornam cada vez mais evidente a necessidade e importância do conhecimento como suporte à tomada de decisão. Neste processo, a Geografia assume um papel central. Este foi o mote para organizar um livro sobre os desafios geográficos da gestão territorial, analisando a evolução recente e os caminhos para a sua implementação plena em Portugal. Esta obra pretende ser uma ferramenta de apoio ao planeamento e governação do território, considerando as recentes dinâmicas sociais, económicas, culturais e ambientais em Portugal, bem como a necessidade de políticas públicas mais eficientes e no âmbito do Plano de Recuperação e Resiliência, do Portugal 2030 e dos Objetivos de Desenvolvimento Sustentável da Agenda 2030.

Abstract (EN): Three key concepts have emerged within planning, spatial planning and territorial management: territorial cohesion, sustainability and governance. The first is perceived as a transformative process that aims to create more cohesive and equitable territories by embracing spatial diversity and pro-moting social and spatial justice principles. The second concept is linked to heightened ecological and productive concerns and rational use of re-sources in development processes. The third concept pertains to a shift in the territory's governance model, favouring participatory and collaborative approaches that foster the active engagement of a wider range of stakehol-ders in the decision-making process.Numerous challenges must be addressed within the scope of these con-cepts and the territorial management process. This book identifies and ex-plores these various challenges. Leading researchers and professors from various universities in Portugal analyse the recent evolution and the path-ways towards its full implementation in the country.The book aims to be a resource for facilitating the planning and governance of the territory, considering the current social, economic, cultural and en-vironmental dynamics in Portugal. It also addresses the challenges posed by the Recovery and Resilience Plan, Portugal 2030 and the Sustainable Development Goals of the 2030 Agenda.The book aims to be a valuable resource for mayors, planners, researchers, and students from various disciplines involved in territorial planning and management. Additionally, it seeks to serve as a tool for supporting deci-sion-making and the development of more effective and efficient public policies, promoting spatial development and quality of life.
