Abstract

The article discusses sustainable spatial development in Lower Silesia and Latvia (NUTS 2 level for territorial units), paying attention to the integration of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and strategies for future growth. In Poland, spatial development guidelines emphasise economic viability, competitiveness, innovation, and sustainability, focusing on cooperation between local governments. Legislative reforms prioritise sustainable development principles in spatial planning to address regional challenges comprehensively. Lower Silesia’s diverse topography and urban centres are focal points for understanding local development strategies and climate change mitigation efforts. The sustainable development strategy in Latvia aims to enhance societal well-being, economic growth, environmental quality, and international recognition through long-term development objectives. Collaboration between urban and rural areas is crucial for Latvia’s sustainable development, emphasising the optimal utilisation of resources and tourism promotion. The text stresses the importance of aligning economic activities with environmental preservation and promoting social engagement for sustainable development. The research highlights the significance of integrating environmental considerations, spatial planning, and societal engagement to achieve sustainable development and address regional disparities for further exploration and application of sustainable practices.
