Place-based regional development as a strategic guideline

Abstract

Place-based regional development is a strategic policy where local problems and resources are identified and the aim is cross-sectoral development of the regions in broadly-based partnerships among the local actors. This report is based on the book (in Finnish) Näkökulmana paikkaperustainen yhteiskunta (Place-based society as a perspective) that is comprised of 13 articles. The report analyses the content of the place-based approach presented in the book by means of an actor perspective based on the Quadruple Helix Model
