Interactions between transportation networks and territories are the subject of open scientific debates, in particular regarding the possible existence of structuring effects of networks, and linked to crucial practical issues of territorial development. We propose an entry on these through co-evolution, and more particularly by the modeling of co-evolution processes between transportation networks and territories. We construct a multi-disciplinary definition of co-evolution which is proper to territorial systems and which can be tested empirically. We then develop the lessons learnt from the development of two types of models, macroscopic interaction models in systems of cities and mesoscopic morphogenesis models through co-evolution. This research opens the perspective of multi-scale models that could be applied to territorial prospective.
