Regional Development Agencies in Europe
In the past decade Europe has seen much change, and at the same time the importance of the regional perspectives has significantly increased. Regional Development Agencies in Europe brings together experiences of Regional and Development Agencies throughout Europe to provide material for the first major comparative study of bottom-up regional policy across the continent. Using an analytical framework developed by editors, the contributors evaluate the long term potential and limitations of the RDAs in terms of promoting regional and economic development. Institutional and other preconditions for successful regional polices are identified, and combined with a broad analytical and geographical coverage that includes Eastern Europe, a clearer picture of the relevance of the RDAs emerges.

There are many case studies from Europe and from other parts of the world, including Japan, thereby providing lessons that different countries and regions can learn form each other.

We have to thank the editors and authors, as well as all the members of the Urban Planning Advisory Teams who contributed to the impressive quality of this publication.

Instead of limiting its role to reflecting on activities, it turned into a pro-active organisation intervening in the real world, rather than serving only as a consultant. The UPATs try to "open eyes and doors", to think and act in other directions, ...
Ruimte voor een toekomst
Hoe zien we een betere leefomgeving en vooral hoe werken we eraan? Rik Houthaeve vroeg het onomwonden aan enkele studenten aan wie hij de afgelopen jaren lesgaf aan de KU Leuven. De studenten in de opleiding ruimtelijke planning en stedenbouw worden immers danig uitgedaagd om te leren een duurzame en kwaliteitsvolle leefomgeving te ontwikkelen. Ja, antwoordde Marie, hoe zien we de toekomst en wat kunnen wij eraan doen? Dat is haast een onmogelijke vraag om te beantwoorden, maar één die mij wel aan het dromen brengt. Ik kan haast van een totaal andere stad dromen. Een stad met meer groen en water, goed om te wonen voor iedereen, voorzieningen op wandel- en fietsafstand en vooral meer toegan...
