During the initial phase of the project, existing data and previous studies were collected and reviewed, the project area was assessed through preliminary site visits, meetings were held with key stakeholders, and the city's main challenges were identified. This phase established the project's work plan and methodology, providing the foundation for the implementation of the subsequent planning stages.
Development of the Vision and Strategic Framework
The objective of this phase is to develop a shared vision and define the strategic directions for Akhaltsikhe's future development. The process is informed by the findings of the baseline studies and by input gathered through the active participation of the local community, the municipality, central government institutions, and other stakeholders regarding the city's needs, opportunities, and development potential.
Concept Development
During this phase, the Spatial Development Concept for Akhaltsikhe is prepared. It defines the city's overall development structure and the key principles of spatial organization, establishes the functional and spatial framework, and identifies priority development directions, strategic projects, and major interventions. The concept is then presented to stakeholders and the public for consultation and feedback, after which it is refined and finalized. The approved concept serves as the foundation for the preparation of the General Plan and guides the city's future development.

Based on the approved Spatial Development Concept, the Akhaltsikhe General Plan will be prepared. It will define the principles of land use and functional zoning, establish directions for the development of the city's mobility and transport network, outline the vision for engineering infrastructure and green and recreational systems, and set out key policies for the protection of cultural heritage and the city's sustainable development. The General Plan will be developed in accordance with the applicable legislation and national spatial planning standards.
