商品描述

This open access book comes at an opportune time, with 'land take' high on the EU policy agenda. It shows how over one million hectares in Europe became urbanized between 2000 and 2018, over eight times that which changed back to agriculture or nature. This book seeks to explain this development and offer suggestions on how to control it, drawing on the ESPON Sustainable Urbanization and land-use Practices in European Regions (SUPER) project. It presents up-to-date analyses on urbanization rates (land take) as well as densities and morphology (sprawl). It also discusses the impact of spatial planning instruments and other public-sector interventions. Finally, the book peers into the future by drawing up urbanization scenarios - compact, polycentric, and diffuse - for 2050, and reflects on their sustainability. It concludes with the encouraging message that policy can make a positive difference.

這本開放存取的書籍在一個恰當的時機出版,因為「土地占用」成為歐盟政策議程上的重要議題。它展示了在2000年至2018年間,歐洲有超過一百萬公頃的土地變成城市化,是農業或自然恢復的八倍以上。本書旨在解釋這種發展並提出控制的建議,借鑒了ESPON可持續城市化和土地利用實踐在歐洲地區(SUPER)項目的研究成果。它提供了關於城市化率(土地占用)、密度和形態(擴張)的最新分析。它還討論了空間規劃工具和其他公共部門干預的影響。最後,本書還展望了未來,提出了2050年的城市化場景 - 緊湊、多中心和分散,並對其可持續性進行了反思。它以鼓舞人心的信息結尾,即政策可以產生積極的影響。
