Spatial development

The totality of all conscious and spontaneous (self-centred) activities for the continuous and practical implementation of municipal development plans, for the extension and upgrading of a community’s fixed assets, for the conservation and restoration of local values, in which the agent is the local government, the state or some investor (inhabitants, enterprises).
