The 6th Spatial Planning Platform Meeting

What is SPP

The Spatial Planning Platform (SPP) was established by the Government of Japan and UN-Habitat's Regional Office for Asia and the Pacific in 2018 as a network of stakeholders aiming to achieve the formulation and implementation of more effective national and regional spatial planning. The platform acts as a framework for central governments, international organisations, local governments, NGOs, private sector, experts, and other various institutions to come together and exchange.
The 6th SPP meeting was held in Balikpapan, Indonesia, in November 2023, with keynote speeches on Japan's national spatial strategy and presentations on four themes related to national spatial planning by government officials, academics and international organizations from 16 countries.
