Over the last three decades, new planning paradigms have exploded the factors depending on socio-cultural characteristics of space, in contrary to regional science. These paradigms argue the strategy for economic, social development and growth of regions instead of traditional theories which focus on spatial analysis as distance, transportation cost, labour cost. Economic development has not been considered independently from space by these theories and it was emphasized importance of economic actors, institutional and economic infrastructure as well as geographic features for economic performance of a region. Space contributes to increase not only skilled workforce, knowledge spillover and distribution but also social relations and interaction.
