This paper proposes a practical vision of a new spatial politics that focuses on the regional level. Drawing on Bruno Latour's conception of a novel democratic structure, we suggest a new political institution called the mobile parliament. The paper presents the mobile parliament and its bicameral organization. The first house consists of satellites that map regional matters of concern. The second house applies the input generated by the first house to rank and decide on the regional matters of concern. By emphasizing the political dimension, the paper at the same time stresses that regionalization requires more than physical planning
