Baltic Sea - & Nordic and Northern Peripheries Region
Dense web of co-operative relationships and interlocking institutions with various memberships, scopes of activity, loci of power, resources and agendas.
Also trade and migration

Main territorial dynamics
• The north-south divide: climate conditions, settlement pattern, transport infrastructure.
• The east-west divide: administrative borders, socio-economic development aspects, transport infrastructure.
• The urban-rural divide: challenges for the regional cohesion. – partly striking differences bw the metropolitan areas and
hinterlands (ageing, outward migration, infrastructure). – Differences and diversity in the physical urban structures
across the Region (land use, polycentricity)
• Internal and external cross-border linkages vary: focus

Region of People
• VASAB LTP: Territorial development perspective 2030: Policy sectors, where the transnational cooperation in spatial planning provides a substantial added value. 1. Promoting urban networking and
urban-rural cooperation: development centres, cross-border clusters, regional variations
2. Improving internal and external accessibility: transnational connections, enhancement of cross-border links
3. maritime spatial planning and management: both territorial waters and EEZ

Trends of the Region
1. Varying labour force replacement potential
2. Small economies1. Investments2. Private – Public relations
3. Natural resources: untouched nature , renewable energy, oil and minerals
1. the poor status of the Baltic Sea environment
4. Well-educated population and considerable R&D capacity
5. Climate change impacts
6. Peripheral geographical location, Poor accessibility/physical proximity
1. vs. Potential maritime transport services (Russia, far East), ICT
7. Large disparities
8. Transnational Co-operation; but lack of political commitment
9. New position in the global system?
