Decentralisation, which refers to the delegation of administrative responsibilities, political decision-making and fiscal powers to lower levels of government, is now considered one of the most efficient engines of development. In Sub-Saharan Africa decentralised states have made more progress in reducing poverty than those states with lower decentralisation scores. But in many countries, decentralisation is still considered a ?work in progress? with unsatisfactory results. From a spatial point of view, the link between decentralisation and regional and district development is particularly interesting. Both in the North and in the South, regional or district development is seen as holding the potential for advancing social and economic development, and even more so in decentralised political settings. Space-based networks at the regional or district level are considered instrumental for responding to locally specific challenges, e.g. in areas lagging behind economically. 410 0$aSpringer Geography,$x2194-315X 606 $aRegional planning 606 $aUrban planning 606 $aRegional economics 606 $aSpatial economics 606 $aHuman geography 606 $aLandscape/Regional and Urban Planning$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/J15000 606 $aRegional/Spatial Science$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W49000 606 $aHuman Geography$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X26000 615 0$aRegional planning. 615 0$aUrban planning. 615 0$aRegional economics. 615 0$aSpatial economics. 615 0$aHuman geography. 615 14$aLandscape/Regional and Urban Planning. 615 24$aRegional/Spatial Science. 615 24$aHuman Geography. 676 $a338.9 702 $aDick$b Eva$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aGaesing$b Karin$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aInkoom$b Daniel$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aKausel$b Teodoro$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910254138903321 996 $aDecentralisation and Regional Development$92512306 997 $aUNINA
