Environmental Planning in the Netherlands: Too Good to be True: From Command-and-Control Planning to Shared Governance

By Gert De Roo

Book Overview

The Netherlands is one of the most prominent and innovative countries in the field of environmental planning. Over the past decade, its government has introduced such ground-breaking schemes as Integrated Environmental Zoning, the City Environment Project, the Bubble Concept and new approaches to coping with noise, odours, soil pollution, air pollution and safety issues. However, at present, little is known of these policies in the international arena. In 'Environmental Planning in the Netherlands: Too Good to be True', Gert de Roo provides a valuable overview and critical analysis of recent Dutch environmental planning.
