Spatial Planning and Urban Development in the New EU Member States

’...a timely and useful contribution to planning literature. Well structured and clearly written...focusing on the most significant planning issues facing each country in turn, this book provides a succinct analysis that will inform scholars and practitioners alike.’ Chris Couch, Liverpool John Moores University, UK ’...the book’s main strength is its multiple focus on different topics, geographical realities and territorial scales...[it] succeeds in its attempt to read divergent experiences through the same lens...’ Journal of Housing and the Built Environment 'The book will be very useful for all those who are interested in changes in NMSs. It not only presents these countries' problems of spatial planning in changing political and economical situations, but also presents these in a wider context- both spatially at EU and national scales and historically with the changing vision of cities and their role across Europe.' Urban Studies '...the book succeeds in its attempt to "read" divergent experiences through the same lens: the challenges that the new Member States are currently facing in the field of spatial development and spatial policies. This book is one of the first to contextualize those changes in the broader framework of European spatial planning and policy.' Journal of Housing and the Built Environment
