Abstract
Regional planning constitutes a spatial economic policy, inseparable from spatial theories. Although space integration into economic analysis began in the last century, regional planning as an explicit policy only emerged after World War II. Today, it appears essential for all countries—whether developed (reducing regional disparities, environmental protection), centrally planned (curbing rural exodus, developing medium-sized towns), or less advanced (mobilising productive resources, reducing spatial inequalities). The author examines Morocco's specific challenges in this domain, highlighting how spatial planning policies must address the country's unique geographic, demographic, and economic characteristics to achieve balanced territorial development.
