For well over a decade, there has been a drive towards
sustainability in planning throughout the Nordic countries. But are
these countries experiencing a paradigm shift in planning research
and practice with regards to sustainability? Or is the
sustainability discourse leading them into an impasse in planning?
This book includes overviews of the planning systems in the five
Nordic countries, drawing attention to their increasing focus on
sustainability. A leading team of scholars from the fields of
planning, urban design, architecture, landscape, economics, real
estate and tourism explore how the notion of sustainability has
shaped planning research in the Nordic countries. Case studies from
Iceland, Sweden, Finland, Norway and Denmark shed light on what
lessons can be learned and some possible future developments. By
focusing on the actual settings and practices of local and regional
planning activities, it enables a discussion on the current state
of planning for a more sustainable future. This book will be
valuable reading for students and academics interested in planning
policy, environmental policy, architecture and urban design work.
