This book presents an in-depth exploration of European spatial policy evolution, highlighting case studies and innovative approaches essential for understanding current debates.
In Rethinking European Spatial Policy as a Hologram, readers are presented with a comprehensive analysis of the evolution of spatial policy across various European nations. The book compiles insightful case studies that highlight the dynamic changes in the design and implementation of policies at both national and local levels. Contributors delve into the complexities of institutional change, emphasizing the impacts of Europeanization, governance, and EU enlargement, which have significantly shaped the spatial landscape in Europe.
The volume not only focuses on policy changes but also explores the rhetorical, discursive, and representational dimensions that underlie these transformations. By examining the synergies and conflicts that arise from these dimensions, the contributors provide a nuanced understanding of the challenges and opportunities present in the realm of spatial planning. This multifaceted approach enhances the discourse surrounding European spatial policy, making it relevant to both practitioners and scholars alike.
Ultimately, Rethinking European Spatial Policy as a Hologram offers innovative interpretative approaches that are crucial for the ongoing international debate on spatial planning. The book serves as a valuable resource for those looking to grasp the complexities of European spatial policy and its future trajectory, fostering a deeper appreciation for the interconnectedness of spatial governance across the continent.
’Rethinking European Spatial Policy as a Hologram provides welcome evidence of an up-and-coming generation of scholars from across Europe keenly pursuing The European Dream invoked by Rifkin in his seminal book looking at the EU through American eyes. This book reflects their struggles in identifying pointers to a challenging future of the European construct and in particular its spatial or territorial facets.’ Andreas Faludi, Delft University of Technology, The Netherlands ’This book provides a thoughtful and stimulating review of the multiple articulations of European spatial policy at the sub-national levels. It is also an exemplary outcome of collaboration among a group of young academics whose networking activities have been supported by the Association of European Schools of Planning (AESOP).’ Simin Davoudi, President of AESOP, Newcastle University, UK
