EUROPEAN SPATIAL PLANNING AND THE ENVIRONMENT: PLANNING FOR SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT

Abstract

For most of the present century priority has been given to the achievement of economic growth, irrespective of the resulting environmental or spatial consequences. Such an approach has led to an inefficient use of resources and has caused considerable spatial and social problems. The recognition by the EU of the importance of the environment has led to the evolution of a range of policies aimed at achieving sustainable development. More recently, the EU has developed an interest in the application of spatial planning. However, it is not yet clear how newly discovered commitments to the environment and strategic spatial planning will be integrated and implemented.
