Last Updated: 2026-02-05 15:06:01
Abstract
- Functions and instruments of planning on the urban, cantonal and national level- Land management on the local and regional level- Monitoring of spatial development- Integrated spatial development and infrastructure development- Instruments and processes for cross border planning: spatial borders, administrative borders- European and global aspects of sustainable spatial development
Objective
Spatial planning aims at forming the living environment. To meet the contradicting interests and plans of different actors, spatial planning should be based on an overview about the situation on one hand and should be future-oriented on the other hand. The concept of sustainable development leads in spatial planning to an efficient use of resources, mainly the limited resource "land". This lecture aims at communicating the basics of this subject. The lecture is organised in three main themes: - Inner development - Infrastructures and spatial development - Cross-border spatial planning
Content
- Functions and instruments of urban planning - Land management on the local level- Functions and instruments of spatial planning on the cantonal and agglomeration level. - Regional land use management- Monitoring of spatial development - Functions and instruments of spatial planning on the national level - Integrated spatial development and infrastructure development: traffic systems, supply systems and waste management - Planning on the national level - Instruments and processes for cross border planning: spatial borders, administrative borders - European and global aspects of sustainable spatial development
