Abstract

In this article we analyze the urban systems represented in Portuguese Regional Spatial Plans. The spatial distribution of regional urban systems reproduces the development dynamics consolidated and the nature of the proposals made by the group of entities that have responsibilities to design the future of these regions. At the end, we present an exercise that combines the proposals and through it, we present an overview of the structures that organize the development of the country.
