Endogenous development
Spatial development glossary, European Conference of Ministers responsible for Spatial/Regional Planning (CEMAT), Territory and landscape, No 2, published by Council of Europe Publishing in 2007, defines endogenous development as: ‘…a specific form of economic development which relies primarily on the internal resources of a specific territory. These comprise natural resources and raw materials, skills, know-how and innovation capacity, specific local productions (agriculture, forestry, handicraft, local manufacturing), factors of attractiveness for the residential and tourist economy (climate conditions, natural and cultural heritage, attractive landscapes and other amenities). Endogenous development is opposed to (or complements) exogenous development which is based on investments made by foreign enterprises (from another State or region).’
