Objectives
The workshop aimed at supporting the implementation of the “Common Future Vision for the Polish-German interaction area 2030” and at identifying key topics and activities to speed up the implementation of the vision.
In 2016 the Spatial Development Committee of the Polish-German Governmental Commission for Regional and Cross-Border Cooperation presented the “Common Future Vision for the Polish-German interaction area 2030”. The vision is: in 2030, the strong social, economic and natural Polish-German area of connections as a common area of sustainable growth is an important engine of development in the heart of Europe, also affecting other regions.
By 2030:
- the potential of centres of all sizes and functions will be jointly developed, used and promoted, also outside the German-Polish interaction area;
- the cross-border Metropolitan Region of Szczecin will have a permanent structure and will be closely linked to the Baltic Sea region as well as known throughout Europe;
- each local and regional development strategy will include a chapter on the implications of neighbourly relations;
- municipalities, cities and regions in the German-Polish cross-border region will consistently implement common strategies to reduce energy consumption.
