Presentation
The influence of the European Union's sectorial policies on
European spatial configuration - just think of Common Agricultural
Policy or Trans European Networks - is more and more considerable.
The theme of the impact of the European Union (EU) policy on spatial
structure has been growing for more than ten years. After the approval
in 1999 of the European Spatial Development Perspective (ESDP) aiming
to address the development of European space, the cohesion process
was formally extended to territorial devolopment, so that in the
European Constitution (2004) Territorial cohesion became
a concurrent matter between EU and Member States and represents,
along with those economic and social issues, the challenge and the
target of the enlarged Union formed by a Community of 25 Members
States. As a consequence, the influence of EU policy on Memebr States'
and regions' daily planning practice is more and more substantial.
For this reason, it is important to acquire a suitable knowledge
of European context and policies which have connection with country
planning.
This book answer to these expectations by collecting significant
contributions presented during the course: The process of territorial
cohesion in Europe, promoted by DIAP - Politecnico di Milano
within the Jean Monnet European Module, an education project co-financed
by the DG Education and Culture of the European Commission in the
framework of the Jean Monnet Programme.
The book is structured in two parts: the first that gives the title
to the book The process of territorial cohesion in Europe
is dedicated to a close examination of the theoretical aspects and
the current debate on territorial cohesion, while the second part
Actor and policy tools investigates operational aspects on
the application of the territorial cohesion concept throughout the
EU programmes and projects.
