This book is based on the collective work of a European Research Group, launched in 2008 and co-ordinated by the Academy for Spatial Research and Planning (ARL) in Hannover, Germany. Experts on spatial planning from twelve European countries developed a systematic methodological framework for the analysis of changes in planning systems and practices, which has been applied by all authors contributing to this book. Our interest is especially inspired by the ongoing debate on the convergence and/or divergence of planning systems and practices in European member states. While the classic comparative analysis of planning systems mainly focuses on the static comparison of legal and administrative traditions, culminating in the description of coherent and homogeneous “planning families” (Newman & Thornley 1996) or “planning traditions” (CEC 1997), this book focuses on the transformations of planning systems that have taken place during the last two decades, critically explaining the heterogeneity and diversity of planning practices in different EU member states (Stead & Cotella 2011). Our main aim is to delineate the co-existence of continuity and change and of convergence and divergence with regard to planning practices across Europe. We distinguish between a “planning system” perspective (“institutional technologies”, Janin Rivolin 2008), and a “planning culture” perspective which describes the concrete practices within the legal and administrative frame of a planning system. The innovative contribution of this book is grounded in the comparative analysis and explanation of changes and continuities in spatial planning, across the multiple trajectories of all “ideal types” in Europe.The authors underline the specific and context-dependent multiplicity and heterogeneity of planning transformation, focusing on a) the main objectives of the changes, b) the driving forces behind them and the main phases and turning points, c) the main agenda setting actors, and d) the different planning modes and tools (institutional settings), reflected in the different “policy and planning styles”. The book comprises the introduction and a theoretical and methodological framework, twelve country chapters and the comparative conclusions. The authors involved in this book cover a variety of planning systems of EU member states. According to the four “ideal types” of planning systems identified in the EU Compendium (1997) and in the most recent study of Farinos Dasi (2007), at least two countries have been selected from each of the four different “ideal types” or “planning traditions”: a) “regional-economic” (France, Germany), b) “urbanism” (Greece, Italy), c) “comprehensive/integrated” (Denmark ,Finland, Netherlands, Germany) and d) “land use planning” (UK, Czech Republic, Belgium/Flanders).

Abstract

This book is based on the collective work of a European Research Group, launched in 2008 and co-ordinated by the Academy for Spatial Research and Planning (ARL) in Hannover, Germany. Experts on spatial planning from twelve European countries developed a systematic methodological framework for the analysis of changes in planning systems and practices, which has been applied by all authors contributing to this book. Our interest is especially inspired by the ongoing debate on the convergence and/or divergence of planning systems and practices in European member states. While the classic comparative analysis of planning systems mainly focuses on the static comparison of legal and administrative traditions, culminating in the description of coherent and homogeneous “planning families” (Newman & Thornley 1996) or “planning traditions” (CEC 1997), this book focuses on the transformations of planning systems that have taken place during the last two decades, critically explaining the heterogeneity and diversity of planning practices in different EU member states (Stead & Cotella 2011). Our main aim is to delineate the co-existence of continuity and change and of convergence and divergence with regard to planning practices across Europe. We distinguish between a “planning system” perspective (“institutional technologies”, Janin Rivolin 2008), and a “planning culture” perspective which describes the concrete practices within the legal and administrative frame of a planning system. The innovative contribution of this book is grounded in the comparative analysis and explanation of changes and continuities in spatial planning, across the multiple trajectories of all “ideal types” in Europe.The authors underline the specific and context-dependent multiplicity and heterogeneity of planning transformation, focusing on a) the main objectives of the changes, b) the driving forces behind them and the main phases and turning points, c) the main agenda setting actors, and d) the different planning modes and tools (institutional settings), reflected in the different “policy and planning styles”. The book comprises the introduction and a theoretical and methodological framework, twelve country chapters and the comparative conclusions. The authors involved in this book cover a variety of planning systems of EU member states. According to the four “ideal types” of planning systems identified in the EU Compendium (1997) and in the most recent study of Farinos Dasi (2007), at least two countries have been selected from each of the four different “ideal types” or “planning traditions”: a) “regional-economic” (France, Germany), b) “urbanism” (Greece, Italy), c) “comprehensive/integrated” (Denmark ,Finland, Netherlands, Germany) and d) “land use planning” (UK, Czech Republic, Belgium/Flanders).
