Demarcations of urban areas in implementation of the RSV

This map shows the demarcations of the urban areas in implementation of the Spatial Structure Plan for Flanders (RSV). This demarcation is done on the basis of the final adoption of spatial implementation plans (RUP). According to the division of tasks of the RSV, the metropolitan and regional urban areas are demarcated by the Flemish region (via regional RUP), and the small-town areas by the provinces (via provincial RUP). This map makes a classification according to type of urban area on the basis of RUP that have been definitively approved. These demarcations have a policy value. They indicate in which areas a spatial policy for urban areas is in force. Outside these areas, a spatial policy for rural areas is pursued. These demarcated areas therefore provide information about the policy desirability of whether or not each plot in Flanders is urban. The demarcations were established after a planning process with local and supra-local actors, and therefore not via a calculation algorithm.
