This book is ideal for policymakers, urban planners, academics, and students interested in urban development, environmental planning, and public policy related to open space preservation.

Open space is essential for well-being in urban life, but it is not possible to rely on the market to provide or preserve it. Using examples from across Europe this book demonstrates the need for governmental intervention to deliver a successful urban space strategy.

Description

Reviewing the limitations of various planning options, this book addresses the debate on how to preserve open space in the context of a growing metropolis.

The importance of open spaces for well-being in urban life is well-established. With case studies on internalisation and valuation methods, this book critically examines the liberal discourse that urges the transfer of responsibility for open space from government to the market.

European and American expert authors confront political rhetoric with grounded analysis and conclude that the market needs to be combined with governmental efforts. They scrutinise the connection between open space and the planning institutions designed to implement its policy. The book provides practical pieces of insight in how to structure an open space problem, information on what to expect from instruments, and new ideas on alternative approaches.
