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.
With this report will attempt to present the impact of demographic processes on socioeconomic development in the regions. Given that globalization processes cover, besides the economy and almost all major spheres of public activity, such as politics, ideology, culture, way of life, and the conditions for the existence of mankind. A basic prerequisite for the development of the processes of globalization is the information revolution, which simultaneously creates and provides the technical basis for the development of global information networks, the internationalization of capital, as well as enhancing the competitive struggle on the world markets. At the heart of the demographic behavior of humans as well as of all living beings is the general biological law of the struggle for survival and continuation of the genus, which also determines the major trends in the world. This fact determines the migration of labor resources at the international level as wages in developed countries exceeds what workers receive with the same qualifications in less developed countries. In the age of globalization, migration policy is increasingly spontaneous and increasingly systematic and diversified. We must not overlook the fact that migration affects national employment, the quality of human capital, labor productivity, income levels, and even the state of interethnic relations. And in this line of thought, the current modern migration policy should include not only the direct regulation of migratory flows, but also the definition and implementation of measures for their integration into national society, economy and culture.
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.
