Description: Urban Sprawl in Europe : Landscapes, Land-use Change & Policy, Paperback by Couch, Chris (EDT); Leontidou, Lila (EDT); Petschel-held, Gerhard (EDT), ISBN 140513917X, ISBN-13 9781405139175, Brand New, Free shipping in the US Couch (urban planning, Liverpool John Moores U., UK), Leontidou (geography and European culture, Hellenic Open U., Greece), and Petschel-Held (late of the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research, Germany) present the results of a research project on the processes of urban sprawl in Europe. The research builds upon comparative analysis of sprawl in seven archetypical urban regions across Europe--Liverpool, UK; Stockholm, Sweden; Vienna, Austria; Leipzig; Germany; Warsaw, Poland; Athens, Greece; and Ljubljana, Slovenia--selecting these cities with the intention of capturing processes of infrastructure-related sprawl in the southern European city, sprawl in the post-socialist city, sprawl in declining urban areas, and life-style/second home sprawl. After analyzing these cases from a meso-scale perspective, the authors develop a micro-scale perspective that focuses on individual actor preferences and then conclude with discussion of policies for the control of urban sprawl.
