Local Equipment for the Major International Infrastructure
De l'équipement de proximité à l'infrastructure d'envergure internationale

Abstract
The possibility of physical and sporting activities is an added value for territories in terms of attractiveness and vitality. The presence of modern and prestigious sporting equipment, but also more modest outreach activities, that meet local needs are at the source of the dynamism of certain cities and various communities. At all levels of government, public stakeholders, at times partnered with private players, no longer hesitate to plan the development of their sporting facilities according to prioritized strategies. In other words, following a deep reflection on the potential of each existing or envisaged piece of equipment, a hierarchic action and exploitation is developed, generally with a renowned symbolic infrastructure at the top and, at different levels, satellite equipment that has a local, regional, and national reach. It is this hierarchic and multi scale logic which will be investigated from an international analytic perspective in this special edition.

Argument
Thus, more globally, the purpose of this issue is to offer renewed reflections on the spatial development and the integration of sporting equipment surrounding the conceptual multidisciplinary points of reference (studies in leisure, geography, urban studies, sociology, history, management sciences, etc.).
We therefore invite authors to focus on the following issues or to present empirical analyses:
- History and evolution of the development of certain sporting equipment;
- New trends in planning and developing sporting facilities;
- Impacts of the development of sporting infrastructures on the urban form;
- Modes of management and social issues surrounding the construction of sports facilities;
- Sporting infrastructures and life cycles;
- Spatial integration of community sporting facilities and local development;
- Large sporting facilities and “territorial branding”.
