This policy brief, published in December 2022, is part of the project Comparative review of national support initiatives for local urban project development and based on its Discussion Paper “Nordic overview of national support initiatives in urban planning” (December 2022). The project runs during the 2021-24 programme period for the Nordic Thematic Group for Green and Inclusive Urban Development (TGA). TGA has been formed by the Nordic Committee of Senior Officials for Regional Policy (EK-R), under the Nordic Council of Ministers for Sustainable Growth. Members consist of representatives from relevant ministries, national, regional and local authorities as well as cross-border cooperation committees.

The project aims to provide a better understanding of how green and inclusive sustainable urban development are governed, supported, and regulated through national support initiatives in the different Nordic countries. These diverse initiatives have direct effect on the relations between planning actors at all levels, especially on governing and collaborative efforts and funding mechanisms, aspects which are examined in the project and from which the Nordic countries can exchange knowledge and practices.

It plays an important role in European and international collaboration, and aims at creating a strong Nordic community in a strong Europe. Nordic co-operation seeks to safeguard Nordic and regional interests and principles in the global community. Shared Nordic values help the region solidify its position as one of the world’s most innovative and competitive.
