The paper outlines the features of the spatial planning systems worldwide, on
different continents, based on countries where legislative frameworks for
the planning and methodology of preparing and implementing planning
documents are defined. In order to define global features of a spatial
planning systems it is necessary to address several issues: the
implementation of sustainability principles, the development of regional
planning, the importance of an urban planning approach, management system,
implementation problems, participation, the share of strategic spatial
planning and transnational cooperation, etc. The determination of the
planning system by numerous and various factors influenced the different
degree of development of the planning process. In many countries, planning
practice faces problems associated with the disrespect of the law,
corruption and illegal land use, resolving regional development imbalances
in almost all countries etc. At a global level, addressing environmental
issues is becoming a dominant goal in most planning systems.
