  Territorial Development and Planning of Sporting and Leisure Facilities

  Local Equipment for the Major International Infrastructure

  The possibility of physical and sporting activities is an added value for territories in terms of attractiveness and vitality. The presence of modern and prestigious sporting equipment, but also more modest outreach activities, that meet local needs are at the source of the dynamism of certain cities and various communities. At all levels of government, public stakeholders, at times partnered with private players, no longer hesitate to plan the development of their sporting facilities according to prioritized strategies. In other words, following a deep reflection on the potential of each existing or envisaged piece of equipment, a hierarchic action and exploitation is developed, generally with a renowned symbolic infrastructure at the top and, at different levels, satellite equipment that has a local, regional, and national reach. It is this hierarchic and multi scale logic which will be investigated from an international analytic perspective in this special edition.
