Following the Good Friday Agreement in 1998 and against the background of the European Spatial Development published the following year, an opportunity emerged for collaboration on matters of spatial planning in relation to both the island of Ireland and the border region. The ICLRD played an instrumental role in creating a space for cooperation and dialogue at both local and regional levels and continues to play an critical role in ensuring alignment between the National Planning Framework (RoI) and Regional Development Strategy (NI) as well as fostering engagement at the local level. Most recently, ICLRD researchers have analysed the potential impacts of Brexit for cross-border cooperation and spatial planning. </p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p></p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>Publications and reports emerging from this work are available from the links below:</p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:list -->\n<ul><li><a href=\"http://www.irishgeography.ie/index.php/irishgeography/issue/view/120\">Creating Spaces for Cooperation: Crossing Borders and Boundaries Before and After Brexit (Special Issue of </a><em><a href=\"http://www.irishgeography.ie/index.php/irishgeography/issue/view/120\">Irish Geography</a></em><a href=\"http://www.irishgeography.ie/index.php/irishgeography/issue/view/120\">)</a></li><li><a href=\"http://dev.iclrd.org/iclrd2/2016/10/03/paper-13-applying-functional-territories-concept-jun16-final/\">Applying the Functional Territories Concept: Planning Beyond Borders (No. 13)</a></li><li>Shared Services</li><li><a href=\"http://dev.iclrd.org/iclrd2/2010/12/06/delineating-functional-territories-across-the-island-of-ireland-an-initial-scoping/\">Delineating Functional Territories Across The Island of Ireland: An Initial Scoping</a></li><li><a href=\"http://dev.iclrd.org/iclrd2/2010/06/06/all-change-but-any-alignment-the-impact-of-the-proposed-governance-and-planning-reforms-across-the-island-of-ireland-on-inter-jurisdictional-planning/\">All Change But Any Alignment?

Following the Good Friday Agreement in 1998 and against the background of the European Spatial Development published the following year, an opportunity emerged for collaboration on matters of spatial planning in relation to both the island of Ireland and the border region. The ICLRD played an instrumental role in creating a space for cooperation and dialogue at both local and regional levels and continues to play an critical role in ensuring alignment between the National Planning Framework (RoI) and Regional Development Strategy (NI) as well as fostering engagement at the local level. Most recently, ICLRD researchers have analysed the potential impacts of Brexit for cross-border cooperation and spatial planning. </p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p></p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>Publications and reports emerging from this work are available from the links below:</p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:list -->\n<ul><li><a href=\"http://www.irishgeography.ie/index.php/irishgeography/issue/view/120\">Creating Spaces for Cooperation: Crossing Borders and Boundaries Before and After Brexit (Special Issue of </a><em><a href=\"http://www.irishgeography.ie/index.php/irishgeography/issue/view/120\">Irish Geography</a></em><a href=\"http://www.irishgeography.ie/index.php/irishgeography/issue/view/120\">)</a></li><li><a href=\"http://dev.iclrd.org/iclrd2/shared-services/\">Shared Services</a></li><li><a href=\"http://dev.iclrd.org/iclrd2/2010/06/06/all-change-but-any-alignment-the-impact-of-the-proposed-governance-and-planning-reforms-across-the-island-of-ireland-on-inter-jurisdictional-planning/\">All Change But Any Alignment?

Substantial change has occurred in public administration, governance models, and public service design and delivery in recent decades, transforming the relationship between public, private and community sectors. In addition to offering a research specialism in the field of spatial planning, the ICLRD continues to offer a unique all island perspective on the evolving mechanisms for modernising the process of

-->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>Environmental and heritage issues are increasingly important issues for any local and regional development context. Although environmental policy is commonly viewed as separate from planning policy the two are interrelated. ICLRD\'s work in this field started with the a series of studies focussed on the implementation of the EU Water Framework Directive and a river basin management approach in Ireland and Northern Ireland. River basin management is a form of environmental planning via functional regions. From a governance perspective it makes sense to manage water issues within river basins. Unfortunately, however, river catchment boundaries do not match with political-administrative or socio-economic regional boundaries, or indeed with groundwater boundaries! Thus further coordination and \'institutional interplay\' is required to resolve these mismatch issues. </p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>Currently, <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"marine spatial planning (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https://www.housing.gov.ie/planning/maritime-spatial-planning/maritime-spatial-planning-directive/maritime-spatial-planning\" target=\"_blank\">marine spatial planning</a> and <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"marine protected area designation (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https://mpatlas.org/countries/IRL\" target=\"_blank\">marine protected area designation</a> are areas of heightened policy activity where cross-sectoral coordination and transboundary cooperation, particularly with regard to the two jurisdictions on the island of Ireland. ICLRD is actively concerned to ensure integrated policy-making for coastal areas which can easily fall between the marine and terrestrial in policy terms. </p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>Heritage similarly represents an area of emerging interest for ICLRD and relates to how issues of natural and cultural heritage and particular qualities of the both the built and natural environment are addressed in plans and strategies, whether at community, local, regional or national level. Within this context, landscape is a critically important issue which brings together both natural and cultural heritage aspects. </p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p></p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:list -->\n<ul><li><a href=\"http://www.irishgeography.ie/index.php/irishgeography/article/view/1402\">Marine Spatial Planning, Brexit and the island of Ireland (</a><em><a href=\"http://www.irishgeography.ie/index.php/irishgeography/article/view/1402\">Irish Geography</a></em><a href=\"http://www.irishgeography.ie/index.php/irishgeography/article/view/1402\"> 2019)</a></li><li><a href=\"http://www.irishgeography.ie/index.php/irishgeography/article/view/1401\">Spaces for Public Participation: valuing the cross-border landscape in North West Ireland (</a><em><a href=\"http://www.irishgeography.ie/index.php/irishgeography/article/view/1401\">Irish Geography</a></em><a href=\"http://www.irishgeography.ie/index.php/irishgeography/article/view/1401\"> 2019)</a></li><li><a href=\"http://iclrd.org/2017/06/04/retrospect-and-prospects-for-cross-border-cooperation-on-the-historic-environment/\">Retrospect and Prospects for Cross-Border Cooperation on the Historic Environment (2017)</a></li><li><a href=\"http://iclrd.org/2015/12/08/cross-border-greenways-and-cycle-routes-on-the-island-of-ireland/\">Cross-Border Greenways and Cycle Routes on the Island of Ireland (2015)</a></li><li><a href=\"http://iclrd.org/2014/01/16/small-island-big-marine-challenges-ahead-for-the-blue-economy/\">&nbsp;Small Island: Big Marine Challenges Ahead for the Blue Economy (2013)</a></li><li><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"The Elbe River Basin District Integrated Cross Border Management in Practice (2012) (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"http://iclrd.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/2_ICLRD_2012_Elbe-Case-StudyWalsh_2012_ICLRD_Elbe_CaseStudy-1.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">The Elbe River Basin District Integrated Cross Border Management in Practice (2012)</a></li><li><a href=\"http://iclrd.org/2012/03/15/the-connecticut-river-basin-integrating-water-quality-improvements-with-regional-land-use-plans-2/\">The Connecticut River Basin: Integrating Water Quality Improvements with Regional Land Use Plans&nbsp;(2011)</a><br></li><li><a href=\"http://iclrd.org/2012/02/21/responding-to-the-environmental-challenge-spatial-planning-cross-border-cooperation-and-river-basin-management/\">Responding to the Environmental Challenge?

Following the Good Friday Agreement in 1998 and against the background of the European Spatial Development published the following year, an opportunity emerged for collaboration on matters of spatial planning in relation to both the island of Ireland and the border region. The ICLRD played an instrumental role in creating a space for cooperation and dialogue at both local and regional levels and continues to play an critical role in ensuring alignment between the National Planning Framework (RoI) and Regional Development Strategy (NI) as well as fostering engagement at the local level. Most recently, ICLRD researchers have analysed the potential impacts of Brexit for cross-border cooperation and spatial planning. </p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p></p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>Publications and reports emerging from this work are available from the links below:</p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:list -->\n<ul><li><a href=\"http://www.irishgeography.ie/index.php/irishgeography/issue/view/120\">Creating Spaces for Cooperation: Crossing Borders and Boundaries Before and After Brexit (Special Issue of </a><em><a href=\"http://www.irishgeography.ie/index.php/irishgeography/issue/view/120\">Irish Geography,&nbsp;</a></em><a href=\"http://www.irishgeography.ie/index.php/irishgeography/issue/view/120\">2019)</a></li><li><a href=\"http://dev.iclrd.org/iclrd2/shared-services/\">Shared Services&nbsp;(multiple&nbsp;documents, 2012-2014)</a></li><li><a href=\"http://dev.iclrd.org/iclrd2/2010/06/06/all-change-but-any-alignment-the-impact-of-the-proposed-governance-and-planning-reforms-across-the-island-of-ireland-on-inter-jurisdictional-planning/\">All Change But Any Alignment?

the core of the ICLRD\'s specialist expertise. Following the Good Friday Agreement in 1998 and against the background of the European Spatial Development published the following year, an opportunity emerged for collaboration on matters of spatial planning in relation to both the island of Ireland and the border region. The ICLRD played an instrumental role in creating a space for cooperation and dialogue at both local and regional levels and continues to play an critical role in ensuring alignment between the National Planning Framework (RoI) and Regional Development Strategy (NI) as well as fostering engagement at the local level. Most recently, ICLRD researchers have analysed the potential impacts of Brexit for cross-border cooperation and spatial planning. </p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p></p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>Publications and reports emerging from this work are available from the links below:</p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:list -->\n<ul><li><a href=\"http://www.irishgeography.ie/index.php/irishgeography/issue/view/120\">Creating Spaces for Cooperation: Crossing Borders and Boundaries Before and After Brexit (Special Issue of </a><em><a href=\"http://www.irishgeography.ie/index.php/irishgeography/issue/view/120\">Irish Geography,&nbsp;</a></em><a href=\"http://www.irishgeography.ie/index.php/irishgeography/issue/view/120\">2019)</a></li><li><a href=\"http://dev.iclrd.org/iclrd2/shared-services/\">Shared Services&nbsp;(multiple&nbsp;documents, 2012-2014)</a></li><li><a href=\"http://dev.iclrd.org/iclrd2/2010/06/06/all-change-but-any-alignment-the-impact-of-the-proposed-governance-and-planning-reforms-across-the-island-of-ireland-on-inter-jurisdictional-planning/\">All Change But Any Alignment?

Following the Good Friday Agreement in 1998 and against the background of the European Spatial Development published the following year, an opportunity emerged for collaboration on matters of spatial planning in relation to both the island of Ireland and the border region. The ICLRD played an instrumental role in creating a space for cooperation and dialogue at both local and regional levels and continues to play an critical role in ensuring alignment between the National Planning Framework (RoI) and Regional Development Strategy (NI) as well as fostering engagement at the local level.

A chief concern is facilitating integrated, place-based policy-making. This requires cross-sectoral coordination and in many cases collaboration or partnership with external stakeholders. These in turn, may be business groups (e.g. Chambers of Commerce), civil society groups (e.g. housing associations, environmental NGOs) or indeed other public sector agencies at local, regional or national levels. In a cross-border context, it may be challenging to find the most appropriate contact persons \'on the other side\' due to differences in administrative structures and institutional arrangements. In such cases, ICLRD can perform the role of a bridging organisation or facilitator, building networks of public sector actors and stakeholders working on similar issues. </p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>It is often said that strategic planning is about saving money, as new opportunities are identified and synergies created. The \'shared services\' approach promoted by ICLRD is a pragmatic means of bundling resources across boundaries to create efficiencies and save costs. </p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:list -->\n<ul><li><a href=\"http://iclrd.org/nw-dev-priorities/\">North West City Region Strategic Development Priorities (2016-ongoing)</a></li><li><a href=\"http://iclrd.org/shared-services/\">Shared Services (multiple documents, 2012-2014)</a></li><li><a href=\"http://iclrd.org/2010/06/06/all-change-but-any-alignment-the-impact-of-the-proposed-governance-and-planning-reforms-across-the-island-of-ireland-on-inter-jurisdictional-planning/\">All Change But Any Alignment?

Following the Good Friday Agreement in 1998 and against the background of the European Spatial Development published the following year, an opportunity emerged for collaboration on matters of spatial planning in relation to both the island of Ireland and the border region. The ICLRD played an instrumental role in creating a space for cooperation and dialogue at both local and regional levels and continues to play an critical role in ensuring alignment between the National Planning Framework (RoI) and Regional Development Strategy (NI) as well as fostering engagement at the local level. Most recently, ICLRD researchers have analysed the potential impacts of Brexit for cross-border cooperation and spatial planning. </p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p></p>\n<!--

As an independent charity, the ICLRD is a valuable source of impartial advice. Much of its work is based on long-standing relationships cultivated over many years. In this way, it acts as a \'critical friend\', supporting practitioners and policy-makers through evidence-informed analysis and independent advice. </p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>The ICLRD achieves this through:</p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:list -->\n<ul><li>action research, policy advice and publications; </li><li>professional facilitation and education and capacity building programmes that assist local governments and communities to translate policy into ‘on the ground’ action;
