The three topics outlined in the title I have been given for this contribution are each far too complex to be thoroughly reviewed in the short time available. Instead of trying to duplicate the relevant (28, 34, 35) Commission Reports in the Transactions of the IAU (R.M. West 1985), I shall review only briefly current results on the stellar content of giant HII regions and then continue towards recent developments of our ideas about the mutual interrelation of galaxy wide star formation and spiral structure. The goal is to emphasize the simultaneous need for descriptions of details and unifying approaches.
