Regional Policy and Planning in Europe

Regional Policy and Planning in Europe explores the ways regional policy and planning systems across Europe have been influenced by:

• economic and monetary union
• the impending enlargement of the European Union
• the devolution of administrative power from central government to regional authorities
• the increased importance of environmental and urban issues.

Presenting a comprehensive overview of the economic basis of integration, this book examines the evolution of various systems of government, planning and forms of devolution.
