Peripheral regions

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 peripheral regions as: ‘…areas located far away from the main urban and economic centres, either within a State or on the European continent. Peripheral regions generally have lower economic potential and accessibility than the more central ones. Regional development policies pay a specific attention to peripheral regions.’
