Rural areas in the Baltic Sea Region are facing drastic and dramatic changes due to globalization and climate change. Architects and spatial planners are key actors in the every day process of social and spatial planning, yet there is an urgent need for adequate know-how to understand ongoing transitions in rural areas among architects and spatial planners. This project will create a pan-Baltic platform with a cross-disciplinary approach. It focus on knowledge production and best practices exchange in order to develop spatial planning strategies for rural sustainability and resilience in the Baltic Sea Region.
