  1. The VASAB Long-Term Perspective for the Territorial Development of the Baltic Sea Region Wilfried Görmar Federal Office for Building and Regional Planning, Germany Member of VASAb CSPD and of Monitoring Committee of transnational BSR programme Green Corridor Stakeholder Forum, Tallinn, 14 October 2010

  2. About VASAB the organisation: intergovernmental network founded in 1992 to promote cooperation on spatial planning and development in the Baltic Sea Region member countries: Belarus, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Germany, Lithuania, Latvia, Norway, Poland, Russia and Sweden main mission: to prepare policy options for the territorial development of the Region and to provide a forum for exchange of know-how on spatial planning and development between the Baltic Sea countries

  3. Profile of the LTP • action-oriented document endorsed by the BSR ministers responsible for spatial planning and development in October 2009 • featuring the 2030 BSR territorial cohesion perspective as a result of joint efforts of countries and organisations • presenting policy guidelines and specific actions to achieve the perspective • urban networking and urban-rural relations (9 actions) • accessibility issues (10 actions, whereof 6 on transport) • maritime spatial planning and management (3 actions) • providing basis for the monitoring and evaluation of territorial development processes in the BSR

  4. ‘Improving internal and external accessibility’ From ‘connecting potentials’ in 2005 to ‘territorial cohesion perspective’ in 2030 • Deficits in land, sea and air transport infrastructure seen from the macroregional perspective: • inefficient connections across the borders • low compatibility and quality of interfaces between domestic transport systems • limited connectivity and accessibility of some BSR areas • High potential of the BSR transport infrastructure to serve the intercontinental flows; green transport corridors as one of sustainable, affordable and intermodal solutions • Synergy required: transport actions to be coupled with mobility, sustainable regional growth and measures to expand cross-border labour markets • Perspective 2030: well connected territories along and across the Baltic Sea; BSR community highly accessible for contacts both internally and with the outside world
