Guide

On the occasion of a meeting of Ministers of Spatial Planning and Urban Affairs (held in Noordwijk, the Netherlands, June 1997), the Dutch European Union Presidency (in this case the Dutch Ministry of the Interior) took the initiative to investigate the state of the art concerning urban policies conducted by national authorities in each of the 15 member states. The main consideration for this initiative was the observation that urban development is a decisive factor for the economical, social and cultural times to come in the member states and the European Union as a whole.

The European Institute for Comparative Urban Research (EURICUR) of Erasmus University of Rotterdam was invited by the Ministry to undertake this investigation, the results of which served as a source of information for the European Ministers. Without EURICUR's international network of universities and cities it would not have been possible to fulfil this request in the relatively short period available for completing this work. We would like to thank those persons all over Europe who contributed by writing a national chapter. These chapters, together with the introduction of the framework for the comparative investigation and the synthesis of the findings, form the contents of this volume.

We appreciate the valuable contributions of Herbert Purschke (Austria), Guido De Brabander (Belgium), Christian Wichmann Matthiessen (Denmark), Eero Holstila (Finland), Alain Sallez (France), Klaus R. Kunzmann (Germany), Koustautinos Efthimiou and Theodossios Psihogios (Greece), Michael J. Bannon and Mary Grier (Ireland), Ilaria Bramezza (Italy), Nuno Portes, Alvaro Domingues and Alberto Laplaine Guimarais (Portugal), Oriol Nel.lo (Spain), Jan-Evert Nilsson (Sweden) and Michael Parkinson (United Kingdom). The national chapters for Luxembourg and the Netherlands are written by the editors, as are the introductory and concluding chapters.

The investigation was carried out under the supervision of a committee composed of Mrs M.E. Bierman, Ministry of the Interior, chairman, Mr F.N.V. Hilterman (Association of Netherlands Municipalities), Mr H. Verdonk (European Unit of the City of Rotterdam), Mr G.W.M. van Vugt (City of Tilburg), Mr F. van Kuik (Ministry of the Interior) and Mr W. J. Bringmann (Ministry of the Interior), secretary. The editors thank the supervisors and advisors for their valuable remarks and pleasant co-operation. Naturally, only the editors are responsible for the contents of this volume.

Finally, we would like to thank Ms Pat FitzGerald for her editing of the 'European' English and adapting the texts into the right format, and our secretary Arianne van Bijnen for her unequalled and pleasant dedication to seeing to it that the deadlines were met.
