This publication highlights the central role of regions and regional policies in generating an employment recovery and realising the innovation potential of OECD economies.

The contribution of cities and rural areas in addressing climate change and shifting our economies towards green growth is also analysed.

In addition to presenting overviews of a large body of OECD work on regional development and regional policy, this publication presents a unique debate over the role and potential of different approaches to regional policy: whether policies should be place or non place-based. This debate includes contributions from a number of leading academics and public officials working in the field.

Also contained are a set of short country profiles covering the 34 OECD members. Structured so as to facilitate comparison across countries, they offer not only brief statistical snapshots of regional performance, but also qualitative information on institutions and policy settings.
