Spatial Planning in Poland

Abstract

The chapter will present how the spatial management system's problem is recognized and distinguished in the literature on the subject in various European countries. Such issues were classified, and their scale (national/supranational) was carried out. The key points from the analyzed perspective, including the local view of spatial policy, as well as the issue of social participation in spatial planning, were considered in particular. The characteristics of the leading European models of spatial management systems and the solutions adopted within these models, especially those relating to the scope of applying individual spatial policy tools, will match the classification made in this way. The chapter mainly focuses on such issues as the role of local spatial development plans in the spatial development system, public participation, integrated development planning, public interest, and flexibility in spatial planning. The context of informal institutions in spatial planning will also be considered. The optimal (effective, rational, efficient) way of addressing these issues in the spatial management system is also related to legal conditions analysis. Therefore, the chapter will also analyze how specific legal regulations can deal with spatial management systems' problems and challenges: the role of these regulations, which thematic areas they should undertake, and which should not.
