It increasingly creates major impacts on the environment (via surface sealing, emissions by transport and ecosystem fragmentation); on the social structure of an area (by segregation, lifestyle changes and neglecting urban centres); and on the economy (via distributed production, land prices, and issues of scale). \u003cbr\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cb\u003eUrban Sprawl in Europe: landscapes, land-use change \u0026amp; policy\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e 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:\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eInfrastructure-related sprawl, such as can be seen around Athens;\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eSprawl in the post-socialist city, as typified by Warsaw, Leipzig and Ljubljana;\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eDecline and sprawl, where a comparative analysis of Liverpool and Leipzig shows that sprawl is not confined to expanding cities;\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eSprawl based on the development of second homes as found in Sweden, Austria and elsewhere.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eChris Couch\u003c\/b\u003e is Professor of Urban Planning; and Head of Planning and Housing Studies – Liverpool John Mores University.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDr Lila Leontidou\u003c\/b\u003e is a Professor of Geography - Hellenic Open University and University of the Aegean.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDr Gerhard Petschel-Held\u003c\/b\u003e was formerly based at the Institute of the Sociology of Spatial Planning - Vienna University of Technology.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublication Date: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e07 April 2008\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublisher: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWiley\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eImprint: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWiley-Blackwell\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eISBN-13: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e9781405139175\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFormat: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePaperback \/ softback\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePage Count: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e304\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight (oz): \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e22.4\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Wiley","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44310368223372,"sku":"9781405139175","price":132.26,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9781405139175_db31623f-592c-4df3-a833-d6d5cddd0616.jpg?v=1780163463","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9781405139175","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
