SPATIAL PLANNING Key Instrument for Development and Effective Governance
2008 United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE) During the early phases of ‘transition’ of many former communist countries of central and eastern Europe and beyond, Dominic Stead and Vincent Nadin prepared this short text on ‘spatial planning’ following an initiative of the UNECE Committee on Housing and Land Management, who also guided the document’s production. The objective was to promote the notion of spatial planning - the coordination of the territorial impacts of sectoral policies. The document is now rather dated, but is no less relevant in the 2020s. We hope to update both the content and presentation soon.
