Transrégionales

Transrégionales is a French adjective describing initiatives, networks, or phenomena that operate across regional boundaries. The term emphasizes cross-border or cross-regional scope, typically involving cooperation, coordination, or integration of two or more administrative regions. Depending on the sector, transrégionales projects may cover transport, economy, energy, environment, or governance.

In transport planning, it can designate services or corridors that connect multiple regions rather than a single region; in regional development, it refers to coordination among regional authorities to address common challenges such as infrastructure, labor markets, or territorial cohesion.

The precise meaning and boundaries vary by country and sector; some contexts distinguish transrégional from interrégional or cross-regional, with the former stressing scale or formal cooperation arrangements that span three or more regions. European Union programs and national plans often frame transrégionale collaboration as a way to link peripheral areas with economic hubs, improving integration and resilience across territories.

As a concept, transrégionales reflects a shift toward territorial governance that transcends administrative borders to address shared opportunities and risks, aiming to foster more integrated and balanced development across a wider geographic area.
