Spatial planning became more complex in early 90s, and as a result, it required wider range of specialists that would cover more areas of research needed to meet expected quality of service. The situation has led to foundation of Research Institute of Territorial Planning by initiative of assoc. prof. doc. P. Juškevičius. First year of the Institute were quite productive – new software was introduced into workflow, which was useful to land management unit as data digitalization has begun. The process started the trend, that became the focus of the Institute’s resources by the 1995 – mass data transformation to digital form using ArchView software package. It marked of the first steps in creation of Lithuania’s first digital database. As a comparison, districts of the state managed to follow the steps just 10 years later. In order to keep data organized properly, document registries were created in National Data Bank of Spatial Planning.
Transportation systems were getting more attention in late 90s. Institute, led by assoc. prof. M. Burinskienė, done citywide public transport passenger research in the capital of Lithuania that was ordered by Municipality of Vilnius.
In 1998, first project that used brand-new Spatial Planning Data Bank were finished. Digital maps for metropolitan area of Vilnius, districts, municipalities of cities were prepared. Huge research project was done in 1998 – traffic flows in main streets of Vilnius were measured.
In 2000, several big project for Lithuanian State Department of Tourism were delivered: camping distribution in district of Utena, car tourism development in south Lithuania and others.
Projects (alongside with workforce) were divided into 3 branches. M. Burinskienė and A. Mačerinskienė led projects that were Tourism related. A. Klibavičius was responsible for traffic analysis, traffic impact assessment and taxation of infrastructure. P. Juškevičius and M. Burinskienė were responsible for creation building technical regulation projects. From 2002 to 2004, M. Burinskienė was responsible for transportation system research and feasibility study preparation.
Spatial planning document preparation has reached its peak in 2004. The institute was ordered to prepare General Plan for municipality of Kelmė district. The same was done for other districts (like Alytus and Kalvarija) later that year. The preparation of documents took big part of Institute’s resources and is remembered as of the tensest periods in history of the institute, which lasted till 2009. M. Burinskienė led most of projects, but V. Grigonis solved transportation system modelling related problems. J. Zagorskas was responsible for architectural part in general plans and comprehensive plans (except for project of Dubingiai, which was done by M. Staniūnas).
It should be noted that general planning and comprehensive planning makes big part of Institute’s outcome up to now. Project require strategic and analytical thinking, knowledge, skills and experience. That’s why Territorial Planning Institute employees must work together to reach peak performance.

Territorial Planning Institute of Vilnius Gediminas technical university (hereinafter referred in the Institute) is widely recognised high quality and competence ensuring, transport system, spatial planning and research services provider.
MISSION
High tier research and experimental development project execution, and at the same time, contribution to preparation of new science workforce and high qualification specialists in order to create sustainable society.
