The plan is nothing. Planning is everything. Modern society incorporates lots of dynamics that require constant rethinking and re-planning in order to sustain the quality of our living environment. A wide range of economic, cultural, environmental and social aspects needs to be embraced when catering for the needs of the future.

You are kindly invited to participate in the Nordic-Baltic workshop 'Planning resilient and liveable regions. Urban-rural interactions', which seeks ways to apply efficient planning methods and develop models to deliver a sustainable living environment both in urban and rural regions.

In order to achieve active engagement, we shall set up three parallel working sessions. We aim for fruitful discussions, presenting key factors that ought to be considered when planning for green sustainable regions and showcasing good examples of holistic cooperation models where smart and inclusive approaches have delivered good results. Workgroups will focus on finding solutions for smart governance, resource efficiency and societal changes in modern living environment.

The workshop is designed by the Nordic Council of Ministers, PLEEC (Planning Energy Efficient Cities), Nordregio (Nordic Centre for Spatial Development), Tartu City, Tartu Regional Energy Agency, the Estonian University of Life Sciences, the University of Tartu and the Association of Local Authorities in Tartu County.

Kindly reserve 24 September 2015 in your calendars, you are guaranteed a warm welcome in Tartu, Estonia.
