\”ESDP European Spatial Development Perspective – Towards Balanced and Sustainable Development of the Territory of the European Union\” represents a result of the agreement of the Member States of the European Union and the members of the European Commission on common objectives and concepts for the future development of the territory of the European Union. The ESDP is a suitable policy framework for the sectoral policies of the Community and the Member States that have spatial impacts, as well as for regional and local authorities, aimed at achieving a balanced and sustainable development of the European territory. It is also a suitable reference document for encouraging co-operation, while at the same time respecting the principle of subsidiarity.

The publication sets out the fundamental goals of sustainable development policies, which are: achieving economic and social cohesion, conservation and management of natural resources and the cultural heritage, more balanced competitiveness of the European territory, as well as specific measures for their realization.
