Opis

This text focuses on various European cities to examine the role of planning, policy issues and problems, and mechanisms in planning and property systems. Examples are drawn from the British Isles; the EC heartland of France, Germany, Netherlands and Belgium; Mediterranean cities; and Eastern European centres. This book demonstrates how comparative European planning systems function under different political, economic and environmental circumstances, and how the market responds.

Recenzje

'This is an example of competent editing by Jim Berry and Stan McGreal at the University of Ulster...The chapters on individual cities, though structured broadly according to the same pattern, vary enough in this respect to capture the distinctive features of the planning, market and investment factors. With seventeen sizeable cities covered, the variety of political nad institutional contexts and the range of influence of fiscal and planning-control systems comes over strongly.' - AESOP News

'Berry and McGeal include an extensive introduction not only to the chapters but to the broader trends affecting urban Europe. This provides a clear and accessible context for the detailed studies to come...a valuable contribution to this literature.' - Planning Perspective and Research

'The insights and conclusions of these volumes make a valuable contribution to this literature.' - Planning Practice and Research
