Indeed, the installation and the development of the territories are based in an increasing way on the constitution of spaces interdependent and depend on the capacity of the local actors to work together to cause projects. Their implementation requires a collective appropriation of the step in terms of capacity of expertise, analysis, futurology and management. Indeed, beyond the necessary political goodwill, the project control of territorial development mobilizes a certain number of techniques : shared diagnosis of the territory, organization of the step, operational control of the action plan, evaluation of the results and impact are as many elements which determine the success of the territorial project.
