Summary:

"This volume is based on a series of field studies carried out within the framework of the research project EURBANET. This project focused on four polycentric urban regions in the North Western Metropolitan Area in Europe and has explored the practical value of this kind of region as a planning concept. Special emphasis was put on the possible contribution of this concept to the strengthening of the territorial competitiveness and quality of life in these regions. The project also focused on the role of polycentric urban regions in the transnational planning process. This volume deals with the questions of the value, the feasibility and the design of a regional perspective rather than separate local perspectives of spatial planning in polycentric urban configurations."--Jacket.
