Review "Set against the background of ongoing European integration, Stefanie Duhr's book is a unique contribution to the rapidly growing area of teaching and research on European spatial planning. She discusses relevant theoretical perspectives on power and policy-making, cartographic communication and the use of cartographic representations in the planning process. In doing this, she provides both conceptual and practical tools to help students and practitioners to better understand maps and visualisations in strategic spatial planning processes."
Summary "The book investigates the style, content and use of cartographic representations in strategic spatial plans in the Netherlands, Germany and England as well as at European level, highlighting significant differences between planning traditions and the impact of these on transnational planning processes. It concludes by discussing practical implications for future strategic spatial planning processes in Europe and the best use of cartographic representations to reach agreement and to focus dialogue."--Jacket.
