Summary:The experience of regional planning in Brazil in the last two decades has revealed the challenge of reasserting regional dynamics in face of globalized economy pressures and the consequent restructuring of the territory. This is the case of Vale do Rio Pardo, located on the slopes of Rio Grande do Sul (Brazil), constituted by 23 municipalities.
