Urban Europe: a study of growth and decline

Abstract

This is the first of a planned series in which the results of a cross-national comparative study entitled the Costs of Urban Growth will be presented. The study was undertaken by 14 research teams from European countries under the auspices of the European Coordination Centre for Research and Documentation in Social Sciences in Vienna Austria. The results presented in this volume are from the first stage of the project. The elements of a theory of urban development are first outlined. An empirical analysis of urban development trends in Europe is then presented with consideration given to urban municipalities during the period 1960-1970 and functional urban regions during 1950-1975. Finally the elements of a theory on urban policy are discussed and national urban policies in Europe are evaluated.
