This thought-provoking book questions the framework of the Horizon 2020 strategy and the policies of smart development. It aims to answer the following question: Is there any possibility for a policy of smart development and smart specialization in rural and peri-urban areas? Based on detailed analytical studies empirical and econometric methods as well as various European case studies several conclusions are drawn. Smart development policies are well adapted to the developed or intermediate regions containing at the same time rural and urban areas but do not really function for the more rural or more peripheral regions. The development policies of rural areas must be adapted to their particular characteristics to the structure of their economies (agriculture small firms) as well as in their diversity (distant regions intermediate regions rural areas near the urban areas). It appears interesting to exploit natural and cultural amenities to develop the multifunctional character of the agriculture to promote territorial innovation under all its forms to favor the synergies between the various uses of land and space and to develop the knowledge on the ecological socioeconomic processes as well as on the mechanisms of territorial governance. These results are very important because they question the validity of the H2020 policy and the smart development and smart specialization policies and their applicability to the whole European area and not only for the most urban and rich areas. It will be valuable reading for students researchers and policy-makers in regional development rural studies spatial planning and economic geography. ă | Smart Development for Rural Areas
