One of the objectives of the project is to generate new approaches for the utilization of spatial potential in the pilot territories. Firstly, the feasibility of using elements of local historical and cultural heritage for the development of the target territories is assessed. Further, a utility network analysis  study is conducted to formulate models guiding future action. This will guide constructing scenarios of best practice in spatial planning, taking into consideration also the predictions of climate change scenarios. The best solution fitting local situation of target areas will be chosen in collaboration with stakeholders and beneficiaries taking into consideration local historical and cultural heritage.
