The context of strategy drafting 1.1 Key concepts and international/European trends The sustainable development of a county’s territory is linked to performance requirements that must combine the protection offered by the statutory plans (County Spatial Plan, Zonal Spatial Plans, General Urban Plans) with the flexibility, efficiency and commitment offered by result-oriented plans. In the global economy it is crucial to strengthen a competitive position, and the strategic planning process must ensure the formulation of market-oriented development policies. The philosophy regarding market-oriented strategic planning is based on the demand of the regional actors or of the target groups existing on the market, while the territorial administrative units are trying to define themselves based on the specific advantages for the target economic activities. They are offered unique combinations of urban/rural products, including transport and telecommunications infrastructure, educational facilities, research environment etc. The quality of life is interpreted in a broader sense, while the intellectual environment, people openness, their entrepreneurial spirit, the local values are important attraction factors. 2 ILFOV COUNTY DEVELOPMENT STRATEGY 2020-2030 – SUMMARY 1.
