Spatial Planning Systems and Practices in Europe

摘要

The book 'Spatial Planning Systems and Practices in Europe. A comparative perspective on continuity and changes' edited by Mario Reimer, Panagiotis Getimis, and Hans Henrich Blote-vogel is the outcome of a collective work coordinated by the Academy for Spatial Research and Planning in Hannover. The book presents an analysis of 12 countries, based on a common methodological framework, different from those used in previous comparative research of planning systems in Europe. It deals in particular with the Europeanization of spatial planning systems and examines two main dimensions: the planning systems, with its legal and administrative frameworks, and planning cultures, seen as responsible for the concrete planning practices, as the editors and contributing authors argue.
