This volume on urban planning within the book series 'Nordic World'
outlines the preconditions, the development, the challenges and the
actual appearances of the changing welfare city. From solidarity to
competition, from green-field development to transformation of
already urbanised areas - and from its utilitarian outset over its
crisis to the differentiated models in the 1980s and the
flexicurity models in the 1990s on to today. The current
competitive welfare city is more likely to be described as an urban
landscape characterised by, on the one hand, a division of
functions, and on the other by mutual competition. The role of the
state has been minimized, turning the municipalities into the new
major agents in attracting taxpayers and providing goods - both by
means of urban planning.
