Views on spatial planning and its role have changed significantly
over the past few years and the issues it deals with have become
increasingly more complex. There are more players involved in the
development of a particular area or place than ever before and
there is also a greater interest in urban design issues. There are
also new ways of conceiving of place, space and society relations.
It is therefore necessary that all those involved in the
production, consumption and valuing of places and territories
develop and (re)learn new ways of analyzing and managing space.
This volume provides a platform for such a re-examination. It first
discusses how spaces and places are understood and conceptualized,
and offers a dialogue between different approaches to the
understanding of space, emphasizing the need for a dynamic
perspective. The book then goes on to examine the changing
governance processes through various case studies, which illustrate
a range of innovative spatial planning projects from across Europe
and the United States. By bringing together an examination of both
space and the process through which the space is created and
managed, this volume offers a unique multi-dimensional
understanding of spatial planning and suggests new ways of
negotiating how society should shape and influence the
transformation of places.
