City & town planning - architectural aspects

Series: Planning, History and Environment Series

Planning systems are continually evolving and comparative studies of these evolutionary processes provide lessons for both academic and professionals. Planning and Urban Growth in Nordic Countries provides a survey of the development of urban planning in the Nordic countries with particular emphasis on the period since the middle of the nineteenth century. Authors from Denmark, Finland, Norway and Sweden

- all respected authorities in their fields - examine their

own national development against the background of those in

other Nordic countries, the rest of Europe and the USA. In each country study, the following questions are addressed. When and how did the shift from preindustrial to modern planning occur? What is the nature of the legal planning framework and how has it changed over time? What is the mechanism of

plan-making and how has the planning system been organized at different times? How has planning been affected by societal developments in the different countries? What urban ideals have influenced the design of the planning process? How has planning been influenced by that in other Nordic countries

and by the rest of the world?

Reviews for Planning and Urban Growth in Nordic Countries

'Very well-presented book to be most fascinating and enjoyable to read ... the book is extensively illustrated.' - Environment and Planning B: Planning and Design 'A pioneering job has been done, not least by the editor, on a large but little researched topic ... You will also have met the first ambitious attempt to bring an overview of Nordic planning into the international planning literature.' - Town Planning Review '... an excellent overview of this fascinating topic. The overviews of each country are all of a high standard. The book will be of value to anyone with an interest in urban development and settlement patterns.' - CSM 'This book provides an excellent overview of this fascinating topic, flavoured with portraits of planners, their works, philosophies and personalities.' - RICS
