In Sweden, regional strategic planning needs to be enhanced. Best practice from european countries is an important element.
During the seminar we showed how other countries in Europe work with territorial perspectives in strategic development planning at the national and regional levels.
Lukas Smas and Peter Schmitt from Stockholm University presented evidence and results from the ESPON project COMPASS, a comparative analysis of 32 European planning systems.
