A topic of the regular discussion sounded like a question “How much space should be in a strategy for socio-economic development?”.

Resolution taken on the discussion outcomes:

• to ensure alignment of the strategy for socio-economic development and the territorial planning documents of a region (municipal entity), the section on spatial development should be included in the approvable part of the strategy, including an assessment of the state of backbone infrastructures, fixing urban policy focal areas, both interregional and intermunicipal, graphic display of major projects in terms of population and economic activity distribution across the territory;
• it is reasonable to recognize the requirements for the content of this section in the methodological recommendations, taking into account that it will become a basis for follow-on development of certain sectoral territorial planning schemes.

It is planned to continue both the discussion of this topic and the series of expert meetings “Stakeholders of the Future Compare Positions”.
