This study examines the governance of territorial and urban policies, focusing on the evaluation of indicators and models. It analyzes the institutional frameworks, processes, and results of these policies, considering both quantitative and qualitative approaches. The study also highlights the challenges of integrating different approaches and proposes case studies to gather data. The findings aim to provide policy recommendations for improving governance in territorial and urban contexts.

Concluding remarks • Inexistence or serious limitations in quantitative data & indicators for territorial governance. Qualitative information and methods needed. • Governance, as a new mode of thinking and acting, seems to be universally accepted, at least at the level of national governments (rev. ECSP) Least clear at which extent by all government levels and agencies and by civil society (Effects on Lisbon Strategy) • Positive elements are: - long tradition of “working together” and citizens’ participation, - innovations in the field of partnership creation, - reorganization of spatial planning system and - introduction of new instruments and agencies • There are conditions, albeit diffuse, pressing urgently in governance actions ◘Structure of State seems to be less decisive than mature – or easy to recompose -systems of planning, specially spatial planning for sustainable spatial development ◘ European Union policies (particularly Structural Funds) and integration processes are recognized as the most important catalyst factor for adoption of governance approaches (relates to ESDP and future Regional Policy)
