What is it about?
Spatial planning axes are an important instrument of spatial planning to help connect urban areas and ensure the accessibility of rural areas and their development. The planning of such axes can steer population and traffic flows, decisions on the locations of economic developments as well as infrastructures such as cable networks. In this paper, current spatial planning axes and their continuity are analysed regarding their suitability to promote sustainable cross-border European development.

Why is it important?
The investigation has shown that different perceptions concerning the effects of the application of spatial planning axes exist and that the level of institutionalization of spatial planning axes as a planning concept is different in both investigated countries resulting in different qualities of their implementation on various spatial scales.
