Evaluating trends in the consideration of urban green spaces in strategic spatial planning
In Europe, strategic spatial planning is increasingly recognized as a public-sector-led approach that brings together multiple actors in collaborative settings to build long-term visions for urban development. Despite the growing importance of urban green spaces (UGS) in fostering sustainable and liveable cities, systematic longitudinal and comparative analyses of UGS integration into strategic urban plans remain scarce. Drawing on established no…
Planning open and green spaces in Europe
Equity in urban greening
Assessing public opinion using self-organizing maps. Lessons from urban planning in Romania
Conflicting interests between local governments and the European target of no net land take
To halt land take in Europe, the European Union set a “no net land take by 2050′′ target in 2011. However, land take continues to occur in European countries, with recent studies suggesting that local decision-making is playing a major role in these land-use conversions. In this study, we investigated how urban growth boundaries (UGBs) are used by local governments to manage urban growth in Romania. A mixed-method approach was adopted, combining …
Does landscape play a role in strategic spatial planning of European urban regions
Spatial plans as relational data
Impact of national policies on patterns of built-up development
Globally, built-up development is taking place at unprecedented rates. To mitigate and limit its effects, recent scientific and spatial planning communities call for built-up management to be addressed on broader scales, from regional to national, and coordinated with multiple policy domains. In this paper, we aimed to analyze the evolution and impact of Romania’s national policies on built-up management during the entire period from the fall of …
The quality and implementation of local plans
Local plans are key components of municipal planning and scholars have developed methodologies to evaluate them. However, the purpose and use of local plans may vary, making their evaluation challenging, especially in comparative studies. In this context, existing evaluation methodologies that target local plans do not always account for the purpose of plans when evaluating their quality. Moreover, it is still unclear whether high-quality plans a…
Understanding strategic spatial planning to effectively guide development of urban regions
Urban land-use change
To date land-change science has devoted little attention to spatial policy and planning in urban landscapes despite the widely accepted premise that planning affects urban land change. This is primarily due to lack of relevant data and an underdeveloped theoretical understanding regarding the impact of spatial planning on urban land change. To be able to better analyse the role of spatial planning in urban development we need to distinguish: 1) t…
Contribution of agricultural activities to urban sustainability
