In recent years, there has been an increasing emphasis placed on local and regional integration in major planning projects and infrastructure development including roads, rail and waterways. This emphasis is not only on integrating various projects, but also integrating them with related issues such as housing, industry, environment and water. In other words, land-use planning and infrastructure management have become more spatially-oriented.
This book brings together experts in the fields of spatial planning, land-use and infrastructure management to explore the emerging agenda of spatially-oriented integrated evaluation. It weaves together the latest theories, case studies, methods, policy and practice to examine and assess the values, impacts, benefits and the overall success in integrated land-use management. In doing so, the book clarifies the nature and roles of evaluation and puts forward guidance for future policy and practice.
This book points to an increased emphasis on place and the spatial context in evaluation work for land-use and infrastructure projects. An interdisciplinary and international network of authors offer new lines of thinking, policy review, methodological innovations and case studies from practice in Europe and the USA on the emerging theme of place-based evaluation in urban planning, regional studies, policy sciences, and environmental management.

How to evaluate urban and regional planning options in a way that is both reliable and widely understandable is a continuing challenge. This book critically assesses applications of multiple planning evaluation methods, and demonstrates through cases how this can be done effectively. Don Miller, University of Washington, USA
