Future of City-regions in Rail Baltica Outline:
EU and Spatial Planning
• approved by the EU in 2007
• balanced competitiveness (improve EU’s position in global economy)
• social equality (coordinate housing, jobs and environment)
• connectivity (transnational)
• spatial cohesion (polycentric city-regions)
• The promotion of ‘polycentric development’ across the European territory which will allow alternative development patterns to emerge.
What is Territorial Agenda?
ESDP & Territorial Agenda
• The Territorial Agenda in particular provides a Vision and framework that gives expression to spatial planning within the EU in terms of how future development requires to be managed within city-regions
• the ESDP and the Territorial Agenda set out spatial planning initiatives which aim to achieve a better urban balance between city-regions in the future
• the TA aims to achieve polycentric and balanced development between the city centre and the periphery, the new city-region, thereby initiating new patterns of development across Europe.
Creating an EU Spatial Vision
ET2050 aim is supporting policy makers in formulating a long-term integrated and coherent vision for the development of the EU territory.

A Five-Step Process:- • First Step: Analysing the Present State of the European territory • Second Step: Building the 2030 and 2050 Baseline Scenarios • Third Step: Building the 2050 Territorial Scenarios • Fourth Step: Developing a 2050 Territorial Vision • Fifth Step: Elaborating 2030 Midterm Targets and Pathways
Scenarios: o3A Exploratory 2050 scenario -
Europe of Cities Concentration
o3B Exploratory 2050 scenario -
Europe of flows Corridors
o3C Exploratory 2050 scenario -
Europe of the Re Dispersal
o3D Concept of Cooperative
Network of Cities Clusters

City-regions as ’Drivers of Change’
Implementation Schedule: New Development Areas
• land in public ownership 80%
- what /where/howmuch/when/who
• development areas
- initiates 15 major projects
• integrated / coordinated programs
• planning and transportation integrated
• Creates conditions for private sector to succeed

Transnational Spatial Vision
• Helsinki as a Metropolis
• Smart-city polycentric region
• Plan-led
• City structure: strengthen centre/resource support to the periphery
• Nordic welfare culture
• Energy Efficient; Low Carbon Society
• Helsinki-St.Petersburg-Tallinn development triangle

Conclusions: Spatial priorities
• Climate Change – Zero Carbon Helsinki • Spatial Planning & Land Practices • Polycentric City-region • Development corridors – reduce Sprawl • Metro & Rail Regional development • Extending the City Centre • ICT Clusters: Business Innovation • Balance of New Housing & Regeneration • Balancing housing tenure – social & private • Urbanisation of the City-region
= Spatial & Social Cohesion
