Spatial planning and EU policy
‘Despite a long tradition of intergovernmental territorial planning among the EU countries and multiannual programming in … (cohesion) policy there has been no serious attempt to better link both processes…’
Böhme, K. et al. (2011) How to strengthen the territorial dimension of ‘Europe 2020’ and the EU Cohesion Policy: Report based on the Territorial Agenda 2020, prepared at the request of the Polish Presidency of the Council of the European Union
Comparing spatial planning systems and territorial governance in Europe:
devising a method
ESPON Compass
Comparative Analysis of
Territorial Governance and
Spatial Planning Systems in
Europe
1. Introducing ESPON COMPASS
MAIN OBJECTIVE
To describe and explain changes in territorial governance and
spatial planning systems and policies across Europe since
2000, and the reasons for these changes with particular
reference to the impact of the European Union.
1. Introducing ESPON COMPASS
• to describe and explain changes in territorial governance and spatial planning systems since 2000
• the reasons for changes – EU law and policy
• to identify good practice on the relationship of spatial policies with EU Cohesion Policy;
• to recommend how those relationships can be improved

many countries and regions in Europe are gradually adapting their territorial governance and spatial planning systems in order to reflect the continuing advancements and complexities of macro-level EU cohesion and growth policies…
to maximise European funding opportunities, limit land-take and promote polycentric and compact urban development …

Why make a comparison?
Europe 2020 strategy - ‘spatially blind’
Sixth Report on Economic, Social and Territorial Cohesion (2014) highlights the need for better territorial governance
Barca Report (Agenda for a reformed cohesion policy calls for a ‘place-based’ approach to territorial development, etc.
therefore:
‘demand to revisit this issue … to examine commonalities and differences of approach, and for further developing the territorial dimension of cohesion policies’
…
Why make a comparison?

HOW EUROPE HITS HOME?
Comparing the impact of the EU legislation, policy and discourse on its
Member States’ territorial governance and spatial planning systems

More in detail, COMPASS talks about “territorial governance and spatial
planning systems”, whereas:
2. Comparing territorial governance and spatial planning
systems
“Formal” elements:
• the overall set of constitutional and legal provisions allowing the operation
of the spatial planning system.
• The administrative framework within which each spatial planning system
operates
• The set of spatial planning instruments at each territorial levels
“Soft” elements:
• The scope of the system and the level of vertical and horizontal integration,
the main issues on the spatial planning agenda, the role of planning in the
country etc.
• How spatial planning works in practice, i.e. the actual implementation of
planning instruments, their capacity to steer development processes, their
adaptability etc.
There is no such a thing as a
‘EU Spatial planning system”
…a disagreement on the establishment of explicit planning competences in
the European Treaties has so far prevailed among the Member States, that
proved to be generally jealous of their respective national sovereignties
in this field (the so-called ‘competence issue’)
However, since almost 30 years the EU is responsible for the promotion of
documents, actions and initiatives of territorial relevance under the flag of
the promotion of EU social economic (and territorial) cohesion
So how do territorial governance and spatial planning systems and
European spatial planning coexists, interact and influence each other?
3. The Europeanization of spatial planning
EU legislation with potential spillover effects on territorial
governance and spatial planning
• Environment
• Energy
• Competition
• Transport
• Others (?)
4. Preliminary findings: the influence of EU legislation
Impact of the EU policy – European territorial cooperation
4. Preliminary findings: the influence of EU policies
Impact of the EU policy – EU urban policy
• 14 countries report moderate influence, strong only in 2 countries (IT, HU)
• Influence increasing (16) or constant (12) (exception of IT)
• Whereas EU-15 countries reported the influence of the URBAN initiative
and did not mentioned the following financial instruments, CEECs stress
the relevant role played by JESSICA and now by ITI
• Institution of ad hoc urban programmes (IT, PT)
• Overall issues: energy efficiency, sustainable mobility and sustainable
urban development in general (CZ, EE, IR, IT, LV, RO); city compactness
and reduction of soil consumption (CZ) and heritage preservation (LV and
other Eastern countries).
4. Preliminary findings: the influence of EU policies
The discursive arenas of European spatial planning
• Mainstream development strategies
• Spatial policy documents
• EU urban agenda
• ESPON
• Others (?)
4. Preliminary findings: the influence of EU discourse
• The EU exert an influence over Member States territorial governance and
spatial planning systems through legislation, policy tools, concepts and
ideas
• The impact of the EU legislation is mostly indirect, as it occurs through
sectoral fields that may concern spatial planning, and then the integration of
these fields with spatial planning is essentially a national matter
• Overall, Environmental legislation has been by far the most influential for
territorial governance and spatial planning, whereas the other fields shows
a more prominent sectoral character
• Overall, CEECs and Mediterranean countries show higher degrees of
influence than Northern and North-western countries (due to lower
goodness to fit and higher financial support received + the Pre-accession
process)
• This raises interesting research questions that will be explored in the
second part of the analysis, i.e. concerning the differential influence of EU
Member States of the development and consolidation of European spatial
planning (bottom-up Europeanization
5. Interim conclusions
