Description

All around the world, regions are facing major challenges: climate change, the transition to renewable energy, reinventing the food system, ongoing urbanisation and finding room to sustain biodiversity.

These will radically transform our living and working environments.

Regional design uses the power of visualisation to unite regional players around appealing spatial development visions for meeting those challenges.

It offers a route to new forms of regional governance and planning that match the urgencies of our time.

This book exposes the benefits and the pitfalls of regional plans and designs.

Shaping Holland gives a unique insight into the emergence of contemporary regional planning and design practice in the Netherlands.

This densely populated country in the delta of the Rhine and Meuse rivers is internationally renowned for its urban planning and design tradition.

Drawing on first-hand accounts and a rich collection of illustrations, maps and diagrams, the book gives pointers for practitioners, academics and students of spatial planning, urban design and landscape architecture.

Regional design is on the rise in all continents. It provides an answer to a world in which economic activities, activity patterns, urban growth and ecological systems are no respecters of administrative boundaries.

Amid the growing number of academic analyses of regional design, this book is unique because it focuses on planning practice and first-hand knowledge.

As such it is of interest to a broad international readership.
