The objective was to analyze the contributions of teachers in PGP in Regional Development in relation to the debate on Regional Development. Therefore, the following specific objectives were defined: (a) to characterize the professor, their training and their research themes; (b) select texts that address the discussion on Regional Development; (c) identify the Regional Development approach; (d) comparatively analyze the conceptions of Regional Development and possible contributions to the theory of Regional Development. As for the method, the research was outlined by the analetical method and the research modality was State of the Art. The spatial cut included ten researchers linked to the PPG in Urban and Regional Planning in Brazil, considering the greater frequency of the term Regional Development in the Lattes Curriculum. Consultations were made to the Sucupira platform, Lattes curricula and bibliographic databases. The analysis relied on the NVivo software (QSR International).

It should be noted that they are permanent professors in graduate programs that have Regional Development as the main theme and, therefore, the inclusion of Regional Development as part of the problems that are intended to be analyzed and transformed and as a theoretical-methodological framework is a condition for his intellectual performance has adherence to the field.
