The perception of the circular economy as an engine for regional and urban development on the part of the European Union is the result of the perception that all cities and municipalities will be directly involved in the transition to a circular economy, since on the one hand, local authorities have a clear idea of the challenges and opportunities at local level, necessitating the development of own development strategies based on the possibility of implementing integrated territorial investments, combined with funding and planning local initiatives to shift towards a circular economy. The transition to a circular economy necessitates a change in the thinking and perception of existing systems in individual cities and regions, with the development, through the cooperation of a circular model of the economy of the individual regions in the European Union, in which the model would include all stakeholders, as well as the business community -in the face of small and medium-sized enterprises in less developed regions and public sector organizations to support the development of local markets by supporting projects innovations and modern information and communication technologies. The presentation of the circular economy as an engine for regional and urban development in the 21st century is based on the perception that this process relies on both cohesion policy and smart specialization and synergies with European structural and investment funds to stimulate circular economy markets. Attention must be paid both to the macro-regional approach to regional co-operation and coordination in the creation of regional markets and to cross-border and trans-national co-operation programs to support interregional cooperation in the area of circular economy activities in order to transform cities and regions on the territory of Bulgaria, as well as other lagging regions on the territory of the European Union in competitive on the world markets.
The European Union's spatial development policy requires the implementation of targeted actions for its implementation. Spatial planning is often perceived as a set of methods used by the public sector to enable rational use of the land in the region, efficiency gains in environmental protection and improvement of economic and social development of the region. This is what makes it necessary to bring sectoral regional policies into support for the territorial cohesion policy of the regions at the member states of the European Union. The aim of the report is to present the modern spatial planning systems based on proactive mechanisms as well as to identify the applied spatial planning tools in some EU Member States with the capabilities of other economic instruments. This process defines an analysis of the links and coordination between the sectors in the regions and the related regional and sectoral policies resulting from the provision of different types of infrastructure in the regions, which is needed both for the population and development of the business. The contribution of spatial planning to the socio-economic development of the regions is indisputable but needs to be presented in order to create opportunities for overcoming regional imbalances in the Member States of the European Union.
The presentation of the problems of smart urban planning on the territory of the administrative-territorial units in Bulgaria requires attention to be paid to the development and application of information and communication technologies in the country, which play a major role in addressing the challenges facing the development of the smart cities of the future. The topic of smart urban planning globally is due to the fact that the majority of the world's population lives in cities, given that the process of depopulation of rural areas continues at the expense of increasing urban population, we can note that about 70% of the world's population now lives in the cities. The result of this process is an increase in the size of urban agglomerations, which necessitates the use of modern technologies as the only means without alternatives in the planning and management of smart cities in the future. For the creation of smart cities in individual countries, a globally coordinated approach should be used, as well as the development of internationally standardized technologies, which will enable better integration and interoperability of information and communication technologies in urban planning, which in turn, it will create an opportunity to achieve regional economic and catch-up growth for the lagging regions. The process of developing international standards related to the harmonization of information and communication technologies, as well as the implementation of policies for the implementation of best practices in the smart planning for the development of the smart cities in the future, necessitate rethinking the main indicators for assessing the impact of information and communication technologies for the development of cities and regions in individual countries.
The water is main source of life on the Earth. As a part of ecosystem water can be viewed by different points. On one hand water is viewed like a natural resource which means that exist in a plain type \lakes, rivers and etc.\. On the other hand, water can be a material for the business and regional development \material for bottlingmineral, spring and tap, SPA procedures \. On the third hand water can be a thereat for the humanity. In ecosystem accounting exist both material and monetary accounts in which water is presented. The material accounts are known like extend and conditional a conditional accountant. Monetary accounts are related with the ecosystem services that can be done for the specific asset. Mixer between both material and monetary accounts could be cold ecosystem asset. Using of these accounts will give a chance for collecting different data which can be used for analysis.
Creating opportunities for the development of cities and regions in the European Union goes through the structuring and building of a regional policy that combines intelligent urban and regional planning, leading to an increase in economic growth in the regions and the quality of life by planning strategic investments in underdeveloped regions to reach the levels of socio-economic development of the leading regions of the European Union. This study aims to investigate and analyze the specifics, practices, normative and methodological prerequisites and limitations in the formation of effective regional policy as a means of achieving balanced economic growth based on the policy of building smart cities of the future. This process requires a review of the development of regional planning and its impact on smart urban development. In addition, the key models for smart urban development should be identified by exploring good practices, and this requires research and critical analysis of regulatory and strategic documents relating to regional policy in the European Union. The development of regional policy in the European Union should focus not only on a limited number of key investment priorities, but also on the objectives, the resources available and the resources needed to measure the progress of individual regions and smart cities of the future.
