Are you a spatial planner and interested in cross-country collaboration within the Baltic Sea Region? We invite you to participate in a brief survey designed to explore the networking and collaboration needs of spatial planners in the Baltic Sea Region.  

Addressing pressing challenges requires innovative, flexible planning and stronger cooperation across governance levels. However, the Baltic Sea Region lacks a structured, informal platform for land-based spatial planners—especially at local and regional levels—to share best practices and insights.

This survey is for land-based spatial planners working in local, regional, or national public authorities in Finland, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Germany, and Sweden.

In just 10 minutes, your input will help shape the Land-Based Planners’ Forum—a future platform dedicated to knowledge exchange and collaboration across the Baltic Sea Region.

We appreciate your time and valuable insights. Please feel free to share this survey with colleagues who may be interested.  The survey is open from March 6 to April 6.

Thank you for your contribution!   

This survey is organized by VASAB in collaboration with Nordregio, Stockholm University, ARL – Academy for Territorial Development in the Leibniz Association, and the Estonian Association for Spatial Planners. The survey is part of a project supported by the Swedish Institute. 

Your responses will remain confidential and will be used solely for the purpose of this study.
