Urban Economic In Lithuania

Urban economic in Lithuania.

The future of Lithuanian cities depends on a territorial planning system that is being constantly improved by the market factors and maturing democratic society. After the restoration of independence, cities underwent significant urban transformations, that lacked a clear strategy, and urban General Plans, the preparation of which intensified only after Lithuania's accession to the European Union. A limited work of general planning revealed strengths and weaknesses of the Lithuanian territorial planning system but failed to provide a clear, measurable answer how well this system meets European urban guidelines, market expectations and society's aspirations.
