The findings indicate a) that bigger cities and highly urbanized regions in Denmark, Finland and Sweden perform very well in the Territorial Cohesion Development Index, while non-core and peripheral regions fell further behind; and b) all Norwegian regions and the Åland Islands have high scores in the Territorial Cohesion Development Index. The findings indicate a need to resuscitate the national regional policies... (More)
