Abstract | This chapter discusses the relationship between economic transition and the changed urban and regional system in Portugal. It considers the nature of economic modernisation and growth within Portugal and focuses on the profound sectoral changes experienced over the last 25 years. The chapter explores the relationships between sectoral change and uneven regional development, both at the national level and through the analysis of a number of selected regional case examples. It discusses how the interrelationship between processes of economic change and specific regional contexts produced very different regional dynamics. Economic transition rooted within existing patterns of uneven development characterised by the restructuring of traditional industrial centres, the growth of new centres of economic activity and the changed insertion of traditional marginal rural areas. Finally the chapter examines the policy issues raised by these changes and identifies the principal challenges for local and regional development policy in Portugal at the start of the twenty-first century. |
