from european Spatial Development to territorial cohesion policy
Regional Studies, 2006Co-Authors: Andreas FaludiAbstract:Faludi A. (2006) From European Spatial Development to territorial cohesion policy, Regional Studies 40, 667–678. The European Constitution defines territorial cohesion as a competence shared between the Union and the Member States. What does this stand for, and how is territorial cohesion policy going to take shape? Answering these questions, the paper deals with the European Spatial Development Perspective's advocacy of polycentrism and how territorial cohesion has given new impetus to pursuing this agenda. It also deals with French roots of territorial cohesion thinking and French endorsement of the Open Method of Co-ordination (OMC). Based on recent Communications, the paper shows that the European Commission intends territorial cohesion policy to take shape following not OMC but the ‘Community Method’. However, it is argued that Member State involvement in its formulation following OMC is essential. Faludi A.

The European Spatial Development Perspective: What next?
European Planning Studies, 2000Co-Authors: Andreas FaludiAbstract:In May 1999, ministers of the Member States of the European Union responsible for Spatial planning approved the European Spatial Development Perspective (ESDP). The document is the product of Member States and the European Commission co-operating on the Committee on Spatial Development (CSD). The ESDP is the work of a small band of European planners. Between them they have succeeded in putting European Spatial Development on the agenda. This is no mean achievement. However, the visualization of Spatial policies in the ESDP is weak. The problem has not been lack of imagination but divergences between European planning traditions. Also, attitudes towards European planning cannot be divorced from those towards European integration. And, even if there was consensus on the 'high politics' involved, planning in the European system of 'multi-level governance' raises difficult issues. The paper proposes strategies, not for 'solving' problems, the solution of which eludes us at present, but for sustaining the mome...

European Spatial Development policy in ‘Maastricht II’?
European Planning Studies, 1997Co-Authors: Andreas FaludiAbstract:Abstract This article summarizes the historical Development of European Union and member state thinking on European Spatial Development policy. In particular, it focuses on the implications of such thinking upon actual planning policies for future policy Developments. It pays special attention to the role of Germany in advocating such integrated thinking with respect to the Intergovernmental Conference and the future of the Structural Funds. The article concludes that the future of a coordinated European Spatial Development policy remains uncertain.

Constructing the European Spatial Development Perspective—For Whom?
European Planning Studies, 2000Co-Authors: Richard H. WilliamsAbstract:This article discusses the provenance and potential significance of the European Spatial Development Perspective (ESDP), considering questions of whose policy is it, who had an input into its preparation, who is the client and/or audience, and the significance of its preparation by the Committee on Spatial Development (CSD). The preparation phase from 1993, and the more public phase from the Noordwijk draft of 1997 to completion of the Potsdam text in 1999 are reviewed in order to consider whether the overall time-scale is reasonable and whether the transnational seminars can be regarded as a form of public participation. The paper goes on to discuss what follows after adoption, threats to its role in EU policy-making, and concludes that there are some benefits from the process of preparation by the CSD, and from the form of elite participation that took place, but that the ESDP must become a Commission policy if it is to play a significance role in achieving territorial and social cohesion at the EU level.

Environmental Law Issues and Approaches to Strategizing in the Sphere of the Spatial Development of the Russian Federation
Ecological law, 2020Co-Authors: Galina V. Vypkhanova, Natalya G. ZhavoronkovaAbstract:The article deals with problematic issues of strategic planning of Spatial Development of the Russian Federation taking into account environmental protection, environmental safety, rational use of natural resources, and environmental rights of citizens On the basis of socio-ecological and economic approach to territorial management, the necessity of building a modern model of Spatial Development of the Russian Federation is shown, taking into account various factors and conditions, including natural resources and environmental ones. When considering the environmental component of the Spatial Development strategy in terms of challenges and threats, goals, tasks and directions, their lack of coherence and inconsistency with the provisions of economic and environmental security strategies and other strategic planning documents are revealed. The article substantiates the proposals for a systematic environmental-based Spatial Development strategy, improvement of legal and other mechanisms for the implementation of conceptual and other strategic planning documents.

Polycentric Development in the Spatial Development policy of the Czech Republic
Urban Research & Practice, 2009Co-Authors: Karel MaierAbstract:The Policy of Territorial Development of the Czech Republic presents polycentric Development, territorial cohesion, improved accessibility and support for regional clusters among its national priorities. This paper analyses the context and position of Spatial Development policy with reference to its powers and potentials to achieve these goals. It also reviews the recent changes in Spatial Development, as well as planned infrastructural projects that may influence Spatial Development towards polycentricity or monocentricity, and discusses which Spatial and functional pattern(s) may develop in particular regions of the country. Special attention is devoted to the influence of major infrastructure projects, foreign investments and the prospects of emerging cross-border polycentric systems.

Spatial Development Strategy of Russia: Expectations and Realities
Regional Research of Russia, 2019Co-Authors: V. E. Seliverstov, L. V. Mel’nikova, E. A. Kolomak, V. A. Kryukov, V.i. Suslov, N. I. SuslovAbstract:The paper presents the position of the Institute of Economics and Industrial Engineering, Siberian Branch, Russian Academy of Sciences, on the elaboration the Spatial Development Strategy of the Russian Federation. It is shown that in the formation of conceptual approaches to developing the strategy, there was a fundamental change in its priorities, focus, and implementation mechanisms. Whereas the first version of the strategy concept contained a truly progressive vision of the problems, challenges, priorities, possible scenarios of the country’s Spatial Development, and mechanisms for implementing the strategy, with each subsequent workflow step, these progressive approaches were lost. It is shown that, although the Spatial Development Strategy of the Russian Federation for the period up to 2025 adopted in early 2019 partly took into account comments and suggestions, it nevertheless remained very vulnerable to criticism. The article considers conceptual defects in the Spatial Development Strategy of the Russian Federation, such as ignorance of new trends, challenges, and threats arising in the Russian economic space; the dominance of the idea of allocation of funds to implement the strategy only through the Development of urban agglomerations, neglecting the tasks of ensuring social justice and supporting the human potential of Russian society, ensuring the environmental safety of business operations, and life of the population in particular territories, etc.

role of siberia in russia s Spatial Development and its positioning in the strategy for Spatial Development of the russian federation
Regional Research of Russia, 2018Co-Authors: V. V. Kuleshov, V. E. SeliverstovAbstract:The problems of Russia’s Spatial Development and accompanying disparities are considered. The authors express their position with regard to the currently devised Strategy for Spatial Development of the Russian Federation and formulate conceptual provisions that should be reflected in it. Analysis is performed for the strategic priorities of Spatial Development of Russia and Siberia, as well as trends, challenges, and threats that can change the Development vectors of the country’s macroregions. Special attention is paid to the positioning of Siberia in the Russia’s eastern Development vector and, in particular, to the problems of Development and interaction between the regions of Siberia, the Russian Far East, and northeastern China. Some issues of reconciliation between the Eurasian Economic Union and the economic belt of the Great Silk Road, as well as the implementation of the strategic initiative One Belt–One Way are considered.
