Latvia's sustainable spatial development strategy serves as a foundational framework for the conference's sub-section reports and discussions, significantly contributing to the evaluation of the nation's external and internal security challenges.

This strategy underscores the importance of cultivating a balanced and polycentric spatial structure, which is a critical prerequisite for ensuring national security and enhancing the well-being of the populace. The conference sub-section will explore several key topics: (1) The competitiveness of the Riga metropolitan region and its significance in promoting balanced regional development in the context of demographic and socio-economic decline; (2) The spatial organization of Latvia's strategic infrastructure assets; (3) The advancement of demographic and socio-economic capital within the framework of territorial communities and across the urban system.
