The future of population, the territorial (in)balances and complexity of managing spaces are recurring themes. Regional, sustainable, tourism and historical developments are the major headings under which chapters are organized. Under these headings and in the chapters, a number of themes are treated, including those of economic integration; flows of foreign investments; regional integration; border areas; urbanization; infrastructure provision; mobility; transports; urban sprawl; deprivation and health; poverty; environmental degradation; quality of life; housing; second homes; land use management and heritage.
