Spatial planning and place branding are allies in the discovery and creation of place narratives and assets as well as in contributing to spatial transformation or the improvement of the socio-spatial and spatial-economic conditions of a place.

This special issue brings together an intersting diversity of authors who explore the linkages between spatial planning and place branding from different angles and from different disciplinary backgrounds.
