Focussing particularly on urban fringe and rural areas; this book addresses the parallel phenomena of growth and decline. In doing so; it not only broadens a debate which generally concentrates on urban municipalities; especially inner city areas; but also covers new ground by starting to build a new theoretical framework for the spatial planning related assessment of these phenomena. Bringing together contributions from internationally renowned authors; such as Sir Peter Hall; Steve Ward and Johann Jessen; the book compares international case studies and highlights their relationships with one another. It concludes by emphasizing common themes that are addressed; as well as showing applicability to other urban and rural regions. Overall; the book provides a timely and comprehensive analysis of the spatial consequences and related spatial planning concepts in theory and practice which aim to further sustainable development of city regions; urban fringe and rural areas experiencing growth and decline.
