The CPMR Baltic Sea Commission held its General Assembly on 21 October, for the first time online. The event brought together representatives from 20 Member Regions to review activities carried out during the last year and to discuss EU policies of relevance for regional authorities.

Spatial planning can be defined as the coordination of practices and policies affecting spatial organization. Spatial planning includes all levels of land use planning including urban planning, regional planning, national spatial plans, and in the European Union regional and international levels.

It is not far from now when the Baltic Sea Region family will meet again at the EUSBSR Annual Forum. On 20 October 2020, first ever online EUSBSR Forum will take place. Let’s Communicate project team took the opportunity to meet the organisers to find out what to await from this event.

At the National Coordinators' online meeting on 29-30 June 2020 Capacity 4MSP project under Horizontal Action Spatial Planning was granted a Flagship status. Let’s get to know Capacity 4MSP and see what the project brings to the EUSBSR.

In order to implement EUSBSR successfully capacity building for actors involved in the implementation of the Strategy is needed so that they are able to navigate in the multilevel governance system of the region, identify and address gaps within thematic areas.
