översiktsplanering
Oversiktsplanering, which translates to "overview planning" or "master planning" in English, is a long-term strategic planning process used in Sweden. It's a municipal responsibility that aims to outline how a municipality will develop spatially and socially over a period of at least eight to twelve years, often looking as far as twenty years into the future. The primary purpose of an översiktsplan is to establish a common vision and set of goals for the municipality's development, covering areas such as housing, infrastructure, business, green spaces, and environmental protection.
This planning instrument is not legally binding in the same way as a detailed development plan (detaljplan).
