Urban Reports: Amsterdam, Bilbao, Copenhagen, Dublin, Zagreb, Zurich

摘要

This masterly study of the state of planning and development in six European mid-sized cities provides a fascinating glimpse into current thinking about strategic planning through the eyes of expert practitioners. The book came about as a result of an international symposium in Zurich at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETH). Thanks to generous sponsorship, a beautiful book has emerged, containing 18 different contributions broken down into overviews of the competing global and local pressures on mid-sized cities followed by essays from different perspectives on the six cities: Amsterdam, Copenhagen, Bilbao, Dublin, Zagreb and Zurich. At the end is a 30-page section of charts comparing different aspects of city performance.
