Georgia’s PM: With support from our international partners, Georgia progresses in National Spatial Development Strategy

“With the support of our international partners, Georgia is advancing the National Spatial Development Concept,” the Prime Minister of Georgia, Irakli Kobakhidze, stated during his speech at the 13th session of the World Urban Forum.

According to the Head of Government, to ensure the smooth and effective implementation of reforms, the Georgian government has enhanced institutional coordination by establishing a dedicated agency within the central government system.

“With the support of our international partners, Georgia is advancing the National Spatial Development Concept. This landmark document serves as an important foundation for housing and urban development, ensuring a harmonious integration of space that reflects our commitment to balanced and sustainable development across every region of our country.

To ensure the effective implementation of these reforms, we have strengthened institutional coordination through a specialised agency within the system of central government. This mechanism supports long-term planning and helps ensure that urban transformation is guided by strategic vision, continuity and effective governance.

At the same time, we recognise that resilient cities are not defined solely by physical infrastructure. They must also respond to social realities, demographic changes and emerging environmental challenges. Modern urban resilience requires accessible public services, sustainable mobility, climate-conscious planning and policies that improve the quality of life for every community,” the Prime Minister has said.
