This paper stems from a symposium entitled “The EU Wants Territorial Cohesion: Can spatial planners make it happen?”, arranged by the European Council of Spatial Planners (ECTP), the Royal Town Planning Institute and the UK Communities & Local Government Department, and held at Eland House, London, on 8 February 2008. The purpose of the event was to consider territorial cohesion as an objective of the EU Territorial Agenda, as agreed in Leipzig, and its Implementation Programme agreed in Lisbon. This European agenda calls for an integrative territorial approach to resolve problems and provides challenges for spatial planning practitioners. These challenges arise from environmental problems, climate change, transport and mobility, integrated water and coastal zone management, suburbanization, loss of biodiversity and fragmentation of natural and cultural heritage. This paper provides a summary of the presentations given during the day and attempts to develop some key themes on the concepts relating to territo ial cohesion that emerged from the day.
