Abstract

Planning systems tend to adjust to the ever-changing urban conditions, though similar urban trends can be found in different spatial forms (e.g. sprawl, shrinkage and polycentricism). The questions raised by these phenomena and dynamics are often answered differently, based on the individual planning systems, cultures and styles, and in reference to the planning tools inherited from earlier periods.

Notes

  1. 1.

    The chapter includes contributions from all partners that have participated in the research project SUPER-Cities: Sustainable Land-Use Policies for Resilient Cities.

  2. 2.

    Esmein (1905, cf. Zweigert and Kötz 1977) divided the legal world into the Romanistic, Germanic, Anglo-Saxon, Slavic and Islamic families.

  3. 3.

    From the national planning systems standpoint, five families would be identified: British, Napoleonic, Germanic, Scandinavian and Eastern European.

  4. 4.

    Portugal has no regional planning authority.

  5. 5.

    Decree-Law n.º 307/2009.

  6. 6.

    Regulatory Decree no: 11/2009, which defines criteria for the classification and reclassification of land use, as well as criteria and categories of urban and rural land use.

  7. 7.

    These plans are approved by the State Planning Organisation. In 2010 and 2011, each of the Regional Development Agencies (26 in number – see http://www.dpt.gov.tr/bgyu/biid/ibbs.html) prepared their own Preliminary Regional Plans.

  8. 8.

    For instance, the Nordic Council.
