This volume investigates the complex tension between metropolitan expansion and the preservation of open space, questioning how planning frameworks can effectively balance market pressures, state intervention, and community interests. Edited by Arnold van der Valk and Terry van Dijk, the book synthesizes contributions from various international scholars to examine the institutional, economic, and aesthetic dimensions of landscape management. By analyzing diverse case studies from the Netherlands, the United States, England, and Belgium, the authors provide a comparative framework for evaluating the efficacy of current zoning and growth management policies.
