Concluding the volume, this chapter synthesizes the main conceptual and empirical findings to outline strategic directions for future territorial planning and cohesion policies. Structured around three core components—methodological contributions, implications for landscape planning, and the ecological reframing of cohesion policies—it marks a turning point from analysis to action. This chapter underscores the need for a transformative shift in planning practices, grounded in participatory approaches that acknowledge the role of local systems and actors in the co-production of ecosystem services. The Nature’s Contributions to People (NCP) framework is proposed as a means to bridge science and policy, reconnecting territorial development with ecological reasoning. A key orientation emerges: the recognition of inland areas not as passive recipients of development aid but as active providers of essential NCP. Reframing cohesion policies through an ecological lens means valuing these territories for their contributions to regional sustainability and resilience. This perspective calls for a shift in policy narratives and funding priorities, placing territorial diversity, environmental justice, and interdependence at the core of future spatial development agendas.
