Nachhaltige kantonale Richtplanung

Abstract

Spatial planning in Switzerland is based on the principle of precaution. The cantonal guiding plans are strategic management tools for spatial development. They could determine spatial development more than they do currently. The updated land use statistics of Switzerland demonstrate an unsustainable development which spatial planning could not prevent. This leads necessarily to a stronger consideration of the principle of sustainable development in Swiss planning. A first step could be made within the domain of cantonal guiding planning. The objective is to strengthen the axiom of precaution and to establish a more effective and process oriented guiding planning. A deduction of operative objectives for spatial development from the general objectives of sustainable development is required. To be measurable, these objectives should be related to a set of indicators. To ensure sustainability oriented steering of guiding plans adoption of controlling and monitoring instruments is essential.
