ISBN: 9781138853348 / Angielski / Twarda / 2015 / 348 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych.

This book, which was first published in 1987, provides a comprehensive overview of planning in Eastern Europe. Each chapter discusses the nature of planning in the country in question and the changes which have taken place since 1945, and examines regional,...
