Evaluation of the institutional framework and policies of spatial planning in Greece

Abstract

The study, examination and classification issues relating to the planning process are imperative for today's society, which often faces significant territorial problems. As a field of expression of the various public policies, the actual space is regulated with certain tools that are activated and promoted by the planning legislation. In particular, regional planning as a strategic level may provide the necessary guidance, incentives and solutions to any kind of problem. Thus, the interdependence of the individual parameters constituting the planning process (policy - legislation – plans – spatial structure) and the circular route followed can be perceived.
