Georgia can be characterised by its turbulent history, centuries-old traditions, and a great ethnic diversity. This makes it necessary to include historical determinants, in addition to geopolitical and economic factors, when making a regional analysis of its territory and contemporary governance issues. Five stages of the development of the present territorial division of Georgia are distinguished. They have been identified by means of an analysis of key events (critical junctures) of significance in the formation of its historical regions. Additionally, their influence at each of the three levels of the current territorial division of independent Georgia is discussed, in particular in the context of territorial governance.

In recent years, grassroots organising has become important in advocating for the interests of local communities in spatial development processes in the Balkans. Though differing in terms of size, focus, and method, these initiatives seek to articulate dissatisfaction with the existing models of spatial governance, and to imagine, propose, and demand more just and inclusive alternatives. This paper focuses on grassroots activism contesting the top-down model of governing space in Montenegro. Based on a case-study analysis, it traces developments in the forms of organising and degrees of influence of three distinct initiatives, examining what their impact on the development of territorial governance approach may be.

The European Union identifies the regional level as the ideal spatial scale for resources’ redistribution, in so doing turning European regions into key spatial development players. This raises challenges due to the heterogeneity of the EU in terms of administrative configurations, and spatial governance and planning systems. The contribution of this article draws on the results of three interlinked ESPON research projects to shed light on the matter. Building on an overview of the institutional variables that may influence successful regional development, it proposes a typology of multi-level regional development governance in the EU and reflects upon the potentials for delivering economic, social, and territorial cohesion.

Cultural and historical heritage is inextricably linked to territorial capital. Over the years, the recognition of its importance has increased in the political and policy discourse. This paper examines these challenges considering spatial planning policies and instruments, namely “how effective spatial planning instruments are in addressing the goal of protecting and enhancing cultural heritage.” The research is focused on two Western Balkan cases of Albania and Kosovo, and takes a comparative approach, considering the ever-present conflict between “the old and the new”, and between growth and preservation, in the respective capital cities of Tirana and Pristina. Both countries have gone through drastic transformations in their planning systems over the last two decades, with an attempt to shift from traditional rigid urbanism approaches towards more comprehensive and integrated ones. Additionally, the two countries are in similar stages of socio-economic development, which include a trend of concentration and rapid urban development. The findings suggest that while cultural preservation and valorisation is ranked high in terms of planning policies, both countries fail to preserve these values when it comes to land development practices.

After gaining independence, countries such as Slovenia put a lot of effort into adapting their legislations to new market conditions. While concentrating on legislation, they often dismissed several other factors which influence policy and decision making. Among them, a particularly important role is played by the Europeanisation of planning, and the turn towards a higher flexibility of processes and land uses as opposed to the predetermination via zoning. While shedding light on these issues, this paper reflects on the incremental evolution of the Slovenian spatial planning system from the approval of the first Spatial Planning Act in 2003 towards a territorial governance approach characterised by a mix of regulatory processes and plans.

Regional development and spatial planning in Croatia are organised as parallel planning systems regulated by different legislations and coordinated by two ministries, the development of which has been strongly influenced by the European Union (EU). In the last two decades, the intensive development of strategic documentation on a local, regional, and national level regarding diverse territorial governance aspects has had extensive analytical scope but little potential for implementation due to the overlapping of responsibilities and disconnected budget and implementation instruments. The Integrated Territorial Investments (ITI) mechanism of implementation contributed to the understanding of multifaceted territorial governance beyond strategic document drafting. This paper analyses the first phase of ITI implementation in Croatia, i.e. the processes which unified functional urban areas, creating the possibility to develop joint management structures and strategies, integrated projects, and common participative planning models.

In the paper, the nature of the transformation of local governance structures between the united monarchy of Piasts of the 11th–12th centuries and the dukedoms of the early 13th century was studied, exemplified by the case of Silesia.

The paper, referring to the contemporary concepts of development of urbanized areas and territorial governance in metropolitan areas, aims to analyze the functional and spatial relations that occur between the central city and suburbs. The attempt has been made to look at their character and strength from the point of view of the advancement of suburbanization processes as well as management and planning practices throughout the urban region. As a case study, the Poznań agglomeration was analyzed, where strong residential and economic suburbanization is accompanied by inter-municipal competition and cooperation. The main goal of the work is to identify them in areas such as spatial planning, public transport and educational services.

Niniejszy artykuł, odwołując się do współczesnych koncepcji rozwoju obszarów zurbanizowanych i zarządzania terytorialnego na terenach wielkomiejskich (metropolitalnych), ma na celu analizę relacji funkcjonalnych i przestrzennych, jakie zachodzą między miastem centralnym a suburbiami. Podjęta została próba spojrzenia na ich charakter i siłę z punktu widzenia zaawansowania procesów suburbanizacji oraz praktyki zarządzania i planowania w całym regionie miejskim. Jako studium przypadku analizie poddano aglomerację poznańską, gdzie silnej suburbanizacji, rezydencjalnej i gospodarczej, towarzyszą zjawiska zarówno konkurencji jak i współpracy międzygminnej. Głównym celem pracy jest ich identyfikacja w takich dziedzinach, jak: planowanie przestrzenne, transport publiczny i usługi edukacyjne.
