 Why Regional Planning
“Regional/spatial planning gives geographical expression to the
economic, social, cultural and ecological policies of society.

It is at the same time a scientific discipline, an administrative

technique and a policy developed as an interdisciplinary and
comprehensive approach directed towards a balanced regional
development and the physical organisation of space according to
an overall strategy.”

European Regional/Spatial Planning Charter (Torremolinos Charter), 1983,

approved by European Conference of Ministers responsible for Regional
Planning (CEMAT)
