Join us for a thought-provoking lecture that explores how spatial planning systems can be compared across different countries. We’ll examine the reasons behind these comparisons, whether they stem from practical challenges or theoretical insights. We’ll compare and contrast planning features in Central and Eastern European countries, highlighting both their similarities and differences. Based on research from an interdisciplinary team, we’ll discuss the challenges these regions face. This lecture will provide valuable perspectives on the common issues within spatial planning systems, while also connecting them to national contexts. You should not miss this chance to enhance your understanding of comparative planning studies.
