Abstract

The regional development of the rural and semi-urban territories in the south of Europe presents serious difficulties that limit their capacity to generate enough welfare to attract and even less to retain population. The EU Common Agriculture Programs are focused on retaining population, with a soft approach to a service economy. Regional development policies for rural areas should not be a continuation of agriculture policies because the issues involved are different. Agglomeration economy, particularly in Industrial Districts, when focused on the circumstances of the rural, semi-rural and semi-urban territories, provide the right policy tool to generate the desired development and create the opportunities for growth encompassing the initiatives for innovation and entrepreneurship. To study the level of actual development and the capacity for industrial agglomeration in rural regions, an exploratory action was carried out in the territory of Valladolid, Spanish Autonomous Region of Castilla y Leon, from the end of 2011 during one year. The results are exposed in this document.
