The main goal of this course is familiarization with the system and structure of spatial development financing in Serbia, and especially from the point of view of modern policies and principles of the European Union, with reference to the EU legislative system on the basis of which funding has been provided. Regional development will be analyzed in particular from the point of view of its balancing at the national and European level. In addition, there will be a special consideration of the role of institutions and governance in the spatial and urban planning process. The institutional framework is the aspect of planning that completes an integral method of drafting the plan (together with ecological, natural, economic and social). Special attention will be devoted to explaining government concepts and governance, and how good governance contributes to the implementation of plans and how the legislation affects it.

The outcome of the subject will be the knowledge of the student of the basic legislative and financial mechanisms for spatial development and the necessity of applying and adhering to these principles in the work as well as being involved in the preparation and implementation of spatial and other strategic plans as well as the consideration of actors and subjects that influence spatial development.
