The paper aims to present the most significant classifications of spatial
planning systems and territorial management in Europe. After the first
attempts, from the end of the last century, at the beginning of the new
millennium, extensive analyses of the spatial planning system were carried
out through several ESPON projects. Their results were based on the
dominance of one of four approaches: urbanism, land use, regional-economic
or comprehensive integrated planning. Some countries have a combination of
two or three approaches. The second research also refers to the development
trends observed in the national systems of territorial management and
spatial planning. Recent research include the classification of states
according to the way of management, the level of integration of sectoral
policies, the degree of adaptability in planning, as well as the degree of
engagement of citizens in the planning process. Knowing the basic
characteristics of the spatial planning system, as well as the
classifications based on them, creates a clearer perspective of spatial
planning as a socially important activity and makes it easier for every
country to review and improve its planning practice.
