Opis

The European Spatial Development Perspective (ESDP) is the most international planning policy document that exists. This book is a comprehensive account of the process of preparing, negotiating and adopting this document. It outlines the differing perspectives of the European member states and shows that the last thing its proponents wanted was a masterplan. The Making of the 'European Spatial Development Perspective' offers a snapshot of contemporary European spatial planning.
