Title: Planning in the EU
Review: Member countries of the EU are inevitably forming an increasingly integrated society. This integration has extended to the field of planning as well. The European Spatial Development Perspective, which was developed to address planning issues across the continent, is analyzed and documented in this book, based on a symposium led by Faludi in 2001. The essays in the volume should be of interest to planners in America, as we face many of the same problems and issues that our European counterparts are dealing with--sprawl, congestion, environmental concerns, inner-city economic decline--and as we figure out how to cross local, state, and regional boundaries for effective decision-making and consensus-building. What is striking to me is that, in this age of global competition, the EU is now actively dealing with spatial planning and development--something US politicians and leaders are slower in doing. I found Faludi's volume intriguing and the subject well worth investigating.
