The article summarizes the findings of the research aimed at how the principle of sustainable development is implemented within the actual conditions of selected European countries. All EU member countries have adopted the principle of sustainable development and they refer to it in their national planning legislations. Switzerland and France have anchored the principle of sustainability in their constitutional laws; all the surveyed countries’ governments have enacted their national strategies of sustainable development and they run institutions responsible for the implementation of this principle. The application of the principle in planning and decision-making may be twofold: ex anthem assessment of plans and strategies with the help of the Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) procedure; and/or ex post monitoring, which may use indicators of sustainability based on the comparison (benchmarking) and observation of trends in time. EU member countries use the EU Directive 2001/42/EC for the evaluation of the effects of certain plans and programmes. Apparently, specific instruments and ways to implement sustainable development in the practice of spatial planning vary a lot. While most countries use national modifications of SEA, UK has introduced a more comprehensive system of Sustainability Assessment (SA). Many countries use indicators to assess and evaluate sustainable development: European Common Indicators (ECI) present a widely used framework to follow and evaluate sustainability at local levels. However, most of the regular and systematic collection and evaluation of indicators is done at national levels, while regional and local levels rather rely on the initiative of respective governments. It is only England where a national top-down system of requisite indicators was introduced for all regional and local planning strategies. Sweden has enacted an obligatory set of environmental requirements to be fulfilled, while a rather bottom-up approach was adopted for the indicators, requiring that communities (municipalities) define their own criteria, based on local issues. France and England have introduced nation-wide sets of particular regulations aiming at sustainable development in specific issues of spatial planning. These regulations include requirements for the structure of housing, for the greenfields-tobrownfields ratia in the newly developed sites, and for the quantities of non-recyclable construction materials to be used.
