The political and technical practices aimed at the arrangement of space play a key role in every society. Any social and economic activity needs space to unfold and through the arrangement of space can be promoted or addressed. For this reason, the origin of the processes of territorial governance and spatial planning is lost in the mists of time, with their contemporary characters that have taken form with the establishment of the modern state. As a consequence, any country in the world includes territorial governance and spatial planning between its fundamental functions and the analysis and comparison of how such activity evolved in different countries constitute a very interesting research field.
