Please find the draft version of the Alpine Spatial Development Perspective (ASDP) here: https://cloud.alpconv.org/s/w2ZFdsXng2EL9oc
In 2023, the Spatial Planning and Sustainable Development Working Group (SPSD WG) of the Alpine Convention, chaired by Germany, launched the process of developing a long-term ASDP. This initiative aims to promote a common, cross-sectoral, and spatially differentiated vision for the future of the Alpine region, supporting dialogue on how sustainable development can be spatially shaped across the Alpine arc.
The ASDP is a non-binding document that provides a strategic and process-oriented framework integrating thematic, geographical, and procedural aspects. Combining textual and cartographic elements, it presents the current state of discussion in relevant thematic fields, including transport, green infrastructure, energy, and economic development, while reflecting on potential future actions. The SPSD WG first addressed these themes in a Synthesis Report prepared during its 2023-2024 mandate, which served as the starting point for the ASDP. During the 2025-2026 mandate, the decision was taken to structure the ASDP’s thematic content around spatial geometries, namely Alpine areas, corridors, and hubs.
This survey is part of a broad stakeholder feedback process, which aims to gather input from institutional stakeholders and experts on the Alpine region. The feedback process was launched with an online workshop on 14 October 2026, is carried forward with this survey and will include a conference in spring of 2027.
The following questions refer to the first draft of the Alpine Spatial Development Perspective, shared by the Alpine Convention on 1 October 2026.
The survey will take approximately 20-30 minutes to complete and will be open until 16th November 2026. Your contributions will help refine and validate the ‘Alpine Spatial Development Perspective’.
We appreciate your valuable input and look forward to your responses!
Kind regards,
The ASDP drafting team
