Multistakeholder Networking towards Circular Flow Land Use Management

Abstract

The paper explores multistakeholder networking as an innovative tool for regional development and land use management. In the Trnava microregion (Slovakia), 12 municipalities have created a platform to coordinate strategies, share data, and promote sustainable redevelopment. The initiative aims to reduce greenfield consumption by prioritising brownfield reuse, addressing a pressing issue in Central Europe. Supported by the ERDF project Circular Flow Land Use Management (2CE174P4), the network brings together municipalities, regional actors, and the Slovak University of Technology to exchange know-how and foster competitiveness. Early results demonstrate how cooperative governance and joint vision can strengthen local industry while promoting sustainable spatial and temporal qualities in the microregion.
