The Croatian Parliament unanimously adopted the Spatial Development Strategy of Croatia on Friday, a fundamental state document for guiding spatial development.
The last such strategy was adopted 20 years ago, and the need for a new one was imposed by phenomena and processes identified through monitoring the state of space, a whole range of sectoral strategies, and significant changes in the international context.
The new Strategy serves as a basis for the development of the State Spatial Development Plan, which will define which strategic projects are to be undertaken and thus avoid potential inconsistencies with other documents.
