The expansion of the European Union in 2004 has had significant
consequences for both existing and new members of the Union. New
member states are assimilating into a new institutional and policy
framework, while the changing geography of Europe provides a
different context for policy development in pre-2004 member states.
One of the more important fields in which these changes are
impacting is regional development. The admission of the new
countries changes patterns of economic and social disparities
across the territory of the European Union, which in turn demands
that existing approaches to regional development are reconsidered.
An approach which has proved to be one of the most innovative is
spatial planning. This book brings together a team of academics and
policy makers from across the new Europe involved in regional
development and spatial planning. Providing insights into different
approaches, it offers a valuable opportunity to compare experiences
across European borders.
This title was first published in 2001. Planning today has to deal
with a completely different world from the one in which many of the
basic ways of thought of the profession were founded. Many
traditional planning approaches often seem less relevant when
attention is increasingly being focused on sustainable development,
deregulation and competitiveness in a global world. Focusing on the
changes that are taking place in the realm of planning practice and
spatial planning across Europe, this text examines the driving
forces for institutional change. It brings together a team of
leading planning academics with experience of planning practice and
policies, from the UK, Holland, Belgium, Germany, Portugal, Italy
and Norway. Throughout the 12 chapters of the book, they examine
and compare new approaches to planning across Europe at local,
metropolitan, regional, national and international levels.

Regional development strategies have become the focus of attention
in many countries in the 1990s. This textbook provides a
conceptual, theoretical and empirical analysis of regional
development strategies within a European context It examines the
various regional development strategies which are currently being
pursued within the regions of Europe - defined in its loosest term
to include East and West. The book describes how many different
European regions are attempting to reduce regional disparities by
engaging themselves in coherent and focused regional development
strategies, and there is also private sector approach to regional
economic development. There are many case studies from Europe and
from other parts of the world, including Japan, thereby providing
lessons that different countries and regions can learn form each
other.
