The European Spatial Development Perspective (ESDP) is published in eleven official EU languages and so is the most international planning policy document that exists. This book is the only comprehensive account of the process of preparing, negotiating and adopting this document. It outlines the differing perspectives of the European member states and shows that the last thing its proponents wanted is a masterplan. The Making of the European Spatial Development Perspective is a unique book offering a snapshot of contemporary European spatial planning.

At a time when strategic spatial planning is undergoing a renaissance in Europe, The Visual Language of Spatial Planning makes a unique contribution to this rapidly growing area of teaching and research. Discussing the relevant theoretical perspectives on policy-making and planning, combined with cartographic communication and the use of cartographic representations in the planning process, Stephanie Duhr provides conceptual and practical tools to help students and practitioners better understand maps and visualizations in strategic spatial planning. The book is the first to review the form, style and use of cartographic representations in strategic spacial plans in the Netherlands, Germany and England as well as at European level. Significant differences between planning traditions and the impact of these on transnational planning processes are highlighted. It concludes by discussing the practical implications for future strategic spacial planning processes in Europe and the best use of cartographic representations to reach agreement and to focus dialogue.

The countries of central and eastern Europe, that have become members of the Council of Europe, have infrastructure deficits that cannot be overcome with public funds. This study shows that public -private partnerships (PPP) can be a suitable tool for carrying our spatial development measures. They are not however as substitute for efficient administration at local and regional levels. The purpose of this study is to underpin the Guiding Principles for Sustainable Spatial Development of the European Continent, which were adopted at the 12th session of the European Conference of Ministers responsible for Regional Planning of the Council of Europe member States (CEMAT), held in Hanover in September 2000.
