The Territorial Planning Guidelines provide criteria for the quantification of residential planning in Basque municipalities, taking into account the changes in the resident population, the average family size, and the housing demand.

The Partial Territorial Plans develop the Territorial Planning Guidelines in the fifteen geographical areas, known as Functional Areas, and define planning objectives based on an analysis of the state of the territory, its socioeconomic situation, and its potential for development.

Methodological sheet of the indicator available for the Autonomous Community of the Basque Country.

Available indicator

Proportion of municipalities covered by a territorial land use plan or a municipal urban plan
Target

11.a Support positive economic, social and environmental links between urban, peri-urban and rural areas by strengthening national and regional development planning
Goal

11- Make cities and human settlements inclusive, safe, resilient and sustainable
Definition

This indicator is composed of two series:

- Proportion of municipalities covered by a territorial land use plan (PTP)

- Proportion of municipalities with a municipal urban plan (PGOU or NNSS)
Theoretical formula

Proportion of municipalities covered by a territorial land use plan (PTP)

\[PMUN_{PTP}^{t} = \frac{MUN_{PTP}^{t}}{MUN^{t}} \cdot 100\]

where:

$MUN_{PTP}^{t} =$ number of municipalities with A territorial land use plan in the year $t$

$MUN^{t} =$ number of municipalities in the year $t$


Proportion of municipalities with a municipal urban plan (PGOU or NNSS)

\[PMUN_{PGOU}^{t} = \frac{MUN_{PGOU}^{t}}{MUN^{t}} \cdot 100\]

where:

$MUN_{PGOU}^{t} =$ number of municipalities with municipal urban plan in the year $t$

$MUN^{t} =$ number of municipalities in the year $t$

This section provides more information about the United Nations indicator or the European Union Sustainable Development Indicator, such as its rationale, international results, metadata, and other relevant statistics.

Rationale

This indicator is based on the notion that the development and implementation of National Urban Policies should support participation, partnership, cooperation and coordination of actors as well as facilitate dialogue. National Urban Policy (NUP) and Regional Development Plans (RDP) promote coordinated and connected urban development. A coordinated effort from government through a NUP or RDP provides the best opportunity for achieving sustainable urbanization and balanced territorial development by linking sectorial policies, connecting national, regional and local government policies, strengthening urban, peri-urban and rural links through balanced territorial development.

This indicator provides a good barometer on global progress on sustainable national urban policies. It serves as gap analysis to support policy recommendations. The indicator can identify good practices and policies among countries that can promote partnership and cooperation between all stakeholders. This indicator is both process oriented and aspirational and has the potential to support the validation of Goal 11 and other SDGs indicators with an urban component. The indicator has the ability to be applicable at multi jurisdictions levels, i.e covering a number of areas while taking care of urban challenges in a more integrated national manner.
