Annotation: The central concern of this book is place identity and its representation and manipulation through planning. Place identity is of growing concern internationally, both in planning practice and in academic work. The issue is important to practitioners because of the impacts of globalization on places. The book involves comparisons between Norway, the Netherlands, Sweden and Scotland, focusing strongly on the question of how different spatial planning systems and practices are currently conceiving and acting on issues of place identity. Place identity is the central theme of the book but to explore this, the book also encompasses other important current concerns of planning practice and research, in particular: spatial development patterns in relation to sustainable development; participation; urban design; and the emergence of spatial planning as a European concern.
