VASAB Webinar on National Level Spatial Planning

11 February 2025, online

 

The VASAB Estonian Chairmanship invites you to join a webinar to discuss how spatial planning is carried out at the national level in countries around the Baltic Sea.

The VASAB Committee on Spatial Planning and Development of the Baltic Sea Region (VASAB CSPD/BSR) is chaired by Estonia from 1 July 2024 to 30 June 2025. As part of its priorities, the Estonian Chairmanship aims to strengthen collaboration among land-based spatial planners and fully utilize VASAB as an informal hub for sharing knowledge and best practices among practitioners in spatial planning. Estonia is currently preparing a new national spatial strategy that focuses on promoting regional equity and ensuring high-quality, sustainable spatial decisions across all levels of governance. This webinar will serve as an opportunity for experts from Baltic Sea Region countries to exchange insights and share experiences related to national-level spatial policies.
