The project CONSPACE "Common Strategy Network for Spatial Development and Implantation" deals with topics of integrated regional planning and sustainable regional development. It aims at improving the harmonisation of spatial planning, better mutual knowledge of planning principles and strategies, the elaboration of common strategies for spatial development and the preparation of implementation of actions.
It is realised as part of the INTERREG III B CADSES Operational Programme, which aims at achieving a higher territorial and economic integration within the co-operating area, promoting a more balanced and harmonious development of the European territory.
Project partners are spatial planning authorities representing ten regions in five nations: Carinthia (A), Styria (A), Veneto (I), Friuli-Venezia Giulia (I), Gorizia (I), Slovenia (Sl), Croatia (HR), Primorsko-Goranska (HR), Istria (HR) and South transdanubian regional development agency (Baranya, Somogy and Tolna, HU). The territory covered by the partner regions forms a european macro-region at the intersection of Alpine, Adriatic and Danubian space.
Four big european cultures (romanic, germanic, slawic and finno-ugric resp. hungarian), different social and administrative systems, different planning systems and professional traditions challenge the process of european integration in the partner area, which might serve as a showcase for the rich variety of cultural and natural heritage in Europe. CONSPACE will contribute to the process of territorial cohesion and reduction of regional disparities.
