The mechanism of subnational regional and urban economic development has been studied extensively by economists, geographers, town planners and other academics. The existing widely varying theories of regional economic development are insufficient on their own in explaining how a region can develop and prosper. Each theory has evaluated a few facets of regional economic development. Research from these different perspectives is narrow and prevents any cross‐fertilization of research from these diverse theories. Recognition of multiple factors affecting the development process has led the author to create an integrated model of regional and urban economic development. The essay first sets out to describe and explain this integrated model. Each of the components of this new model draws heavily upon seminal work in the field. This model proposes three rings. Each ring is at a different level of abstraction. The determinants of development described in each ring can influence each and every other determinant of development shown in the three‐ring structure. This model recognizes that development in any centre, be it regional or urban, nascent or established, is a composite end result of the complex interplay of all the determinants. The essay then goes on to show how this model can provide a broad holistic approach to regional economic development that can assist researchers in their attempts to understand and link its various theories. Résumé Économistes, géographes, urbanistes et autres spécialistes ont largement étudié le mécanisme de développement économique urbain et régional infranational. Les très nombreuses théories existantes sur le développement économique régional sont insuffisantes à elles seules pour expliquer comment une région peut se développer et prospérer. Chaque théorie a évalué quelques facettes de cette évolution. Les études résultant de ces différentes perspectives ont un champ étroit et empêchent tout enrichissement mutuel des recherches émanant de ces diverses théories. Prenant en compte les facteurs multiples qui affectent le processus de développement, l'auteur a pu créer un modèle intégré de développement économique urbain et régional. Le texte commence par décrire et expliciter ce modèle intégré. Chacune de ses composantes repose en grande partie sur les travaux majeurs dans le domaine. Le modèle propose trois cercles. Chaque cercle se situe à un niveau d'abstraction différent. Les déterminants du développement présentés dans chaque cercle peuvent influencer tout ou partie des autres déterminants du développement appartenant à la structure d'ensemble. Le modèle admet que le développement dans un centre quelconque, qu'il soit régional ou urbain, naissant ou établi, est un aboutissement composite des interactions complexes de tous les déterminants du développement. Est ensuite montré comment ce modèle peut apporter une approche holistique élargie du développement économique régional, capable d'aider les chercheurs à comprendre et relier les diverses théories sur cette évolution
