The Region 1 Spatial Strategy (RSS) was formulated within the context of the Regional Spatial Development Framework (RSDF) 2016-2045 of Region 1 which serves as the integrating framework of the various regional physical plans in the region. The RSS adopted the three core strategies of the National Spatial Strategy (NSS), namely: Concentration, Connectivity, and Vulnerability Reduction (CCVR), just like the RSDF. The unique socio-economic and bio-physical features of Region 1 were considered in the application of the NSS core strategies in the region. Likewise, it supports the idea of inclusive growth and the spatial distribution of the region’s population and related economic characteristics, growth scenarios, and corresponding growth issues.
