The Institute for Spatial Development at the Ministry of Physical Planning, Construction and State Assets organises a two-day international conference called Planning and Development of Resilient Settlements, which will be held on December 10 and 11, 2025, at the Zonar Hotel in Zagreb.

The purpose of the conference is to emphasise the importance of spatial planning in developing resilient settlements by applying innovative approaches, tools and solutions for anticipated challenges and more effective management of spatial changes for the future.

The goals of strengthening settlement resilience through their capacity to prepare for, respond to and recover from different types of crises and challenges caused by natural events or human action are integrated into European and national policies, and the Conference programme aims to start a conversation on their development and implementation in the spatial planning system.

The two-day conference programme is divided into several thematic blocks, within which short introductory lectures will be given by Croatian and foreign lecturers as an introduction into the panel discussion:
I Spatial policies for developing settlement resilience
II Spatial-planning tools of the new era
III Spatial-planning approaches to challenges of the new era
IV Social ecosystems
V Marine ecosystems
VI Green ecosystems

Target participants are representatives of public authorities at all levels, professional and academic communities, non-governmental organisations and interested public. The expected number of participants is approximately 200.

There is no registration fee.

For members of the Croatian Chamber of Architects, the conference is accredited with 12 academic hours, according to the Training Programme, as follows:

  • Area A / Technical regulation - 1 h
  • Area B / Space and environment - 11 h

The number of places is limited, and entry will be possible only upon presenting the QR code received after completing the registration.
