The Northern Lapland regional plan covers the Sámi and Lapin municipalities of Sodankylä, Inari, and Utsjoki and provides a long-term perspective for regional development.
The regional plan results of a highly collaborative process between municipal representatives, the Sámi Parliament, other regional bodies and stakeholders. Focusing on the region’s land use, urban structure, and overall development, the extensive plan touches upon cultural landscapes, built heritage, and tourism several times.
The plan considers the region’s future prosperity while honoring the cultural and environmental significance of the land.
