This chapter examines a model structure that can project multiregional job and populations dynamics. Such dynamics include the attraction of firms and households to each functional region. The method to identify a region’s internal market potential is in a fundamental way related to the delineation of the geographic extension of a functional region. A functional region is distinguished by its concentration of activities and of its infrastructure which facilitates particularly high factor mobility within its interaction borders. The resource-based theory has been challenged in recent decades by scale-based models, which explain location and trade patterns in a context of internal and external economies of scale. The chapter presents model for long term projection of employment and population growth in Swedish municipalities. In Sweden a functional region normally consists of several interacting municipalities. Such a group of municipalities is considered to be integrated into a region when the interaction between the municipalities is intensive.
