G.2. Spatial Planning

Spatial Planning is the determination of land use and construction decisions in order to protect
and develop physical, natural, historical and cultural values, to ensure the balance between pro-
tection and use, to support sustainable development at the country, region and city level, and to
create healthy and safe environments with high quality of life.
