<br/><br/> The American territory has been used to foster an interpretative dimension to take into account the geographical imagination of American society within the frame of its historical experience. Americans have transferred their notion of the frontier, from a continental scale to a planetary scale, facilitating thus the access of their industry to the global economy. The myth of the frontier also casts a light on the current debate over the poor fit of local administrative borders when the spacial expansion of the labor market encompasses the metropolitan scale as a whole.
