ECTP-CEU REPRESENTATION IN NTCCP/UDG MEETING IN WARSAW, July 12, 2011 On 12 july the combined meeting of the NTCCP and the UDG was held in Warsaw, under Polish EU Presidency. This was the first time that both groups of representatives of national Ministries, EU organisations and some ngo’s, among which ECTP-CEU, met in one combined meeting. Some representatives of national Ministries questioned the combination of groups preparing territorial and urban development policies. The combination is however in line with the ECTP-CEU vision expressed in the NCA2003, that urban planning is part (as a specific scale level) of spatial (or territorial) planning, and that a strong distinction between the two (Leipzig Charter vs Territorial Agenda) leads to an artificial separation within the field of spatial planning. An expert report will be prepared (by Patrick Salez) about the future situation of both groups. >> See the full report here << ECTP-CEU COMMENTS ON ESPON’S FUTURE:
