Catalan term

reequilibri territorial

Catalan to English Social Sciences Government / Politics geopolitics
ORIGINAL:

"Les diferents unitats administratives —municipis, comarques, regions...— s’estructuraran d’acord amb una voluntat de servei a la ciutadania, de simplicitat i de ***reequilibri territorial*** de la nació, per la qual cosa el seu nombre, estructura i competències han de ser variables al llarg del temps"

Have we a specific term that encompasses this idea? I am hedging around one, but cannot put my finger on it. Is it related to redrawing boundaries? (adjusting constituencies?) Or does the term have wider ranging echoes in Catalan?

Thanks Tony That's exactly what I was beginning to feel it meant after a few later references to the term in the text.
Tony Isaac Nov 5, 2012:
My feeling is that they're referring to giving a helping hand to areas that have been disadvantaged over the years e.g. rural areas or perhaps where traditional industries have gone into decline. The differences between the most and least prosperous might be reduced in this way and there would be greater 'balance' in this sense. HTH
Berni Armstrong (asker) Nov 5, 2012:
Clarification? Either of these answers would be useful, but what I was hoping for is an exact idea of what is exactly implied by rebalancing a territory. Anyone?

aimed at redressing territorial imbalances...

Could be another way to tackle it.

I don't think they mean redrawing boundaries.
