Urban Sprawl in Europe
Landscape, Land-Use Change and Policy
Chris Couch , Gerhard Petschel-Held , Lila Leontidou
Urban Sprawl in Europe: landscapes, land-use change & policy explains the nature and dynamics of urban sprawl. The book is written in three parts. Part I considers contemporary definitions, theories and trends in European urban sprawl. In part II authors draw upon experiences from across Europe to consider urban sprawl from a number of perspectives:
- Infrastructure-related sprawl, such as can be seen around Athens;
- Sprawl in the post-socialist city, as typified by Warsaw, Leipzig and Ljubljana;
- Decline and sprawl, where a comparative analysis of Liverpool and Leipzig shows that sprawl is not confined to expanding cities;
- Sprawl based on the development of second homes as found in Sweden, Austria and elsewhere.
In part III a formal qualitative model of sprawl is developed. Policies for the control of urban sprawl and the roles of different stakeholders are considered. Finally, a concluding chapter raises questions about the nature and dynamics of these new urban landscapes and their sustainability.
