Regional development requires continuous assessment of local assets, study finds
A new study identifies the framework policymakers need to evaluate what makes regions competitive: natural resources, infrastructure, workforce, and institutions working together. The research shows that static development plans fail because regional potential shifts constantly, demanding ongoing monitoring and tailored strategies for different areas rather than one-size-fits-all approaches.

The article examines the scientific foundations for assessing territorial development potential and formulating sustainable development strategies. The concept of “territorial potential” is interpreted as an integrated system of natural, economic, demographic, infrastructural, and institutional components whose interaction determines the long-term sustainable growth of regions. The dynamic nature of territorial potential and the need for its continuous monitoring and reassessment within strategic governance are substantiated. Based on the analysis of interregional disparities, structural economic transformations, investment flows, and sectoral diversification, the study highlights the importance of a differentiated approach to regional development strategies. The findings confirm that a comprehensive assessment of territorial potential provides a methodological basis for defining strategic priorities, allocating resources efficiently, and ensuring balanced sustainable regional development.
