“…However, this EUization process continues through the support for “European Territorial Cooperation” processes under EU cohesion policy (Faludi 2004, 164). Indeed, as Waterhout (2007) stresses, as regards the Europeanization of planning, it is possible to identify a set of resources, rules, and ideas, which are associated with the regional policy and the INTERREG programmes, in particular, and the need to implementing EU regulations. At the same time, this EU influence on national spatial planning processes can be seen in the EU support given to several sectoral policies in the fields of environment, transport, and rural development, with considerable spatial impact, and which often require institutional adjustments within EU member states (Dühr, Stead, and Zonneveld 2007).…”

This article debates the possibilities and advantages of using territorial impact assessment (TIA) policy evaluation methodologies to assess the implementation of spatial planning instruments. It builds on existing literature to define key analytical goals, dimensions, and respective components to monitor and evaluate the implementation of spatial plans, at all territorial levels, to be used as a TIA evaluation matrix. It concludes that, despite the inherent complexity associated with the process of evaluating spatial planning processes, there are manifest advantages to using TIA tools to evaluate them, mostly at the ex post phase.

“…Most of the studies on the Europeanization of spatial planning put forward arguments that the process is taking place in different places and in different ways (Böhme 2002;Dabinett and Richardson 2005;Giannakourou 2005;Hamedinger, Bartik, and Wolffhardt 2008;Lähteenmäki-Smith, Fuller, and Böhme 2005;Ravesteyn and Evers 2004;Sykes 2007;Tewdwr-Jones and Williams 2001;Waterhout and Böhme 2008;Waterhout 2007;Zonneveld 2005), corresponding to the notion of divergent impacts (e.g., Héritier et al 2001;Jordan and Liefferink 2004;Stone 2004), or clustered commonality (e.g. Börzel and Risse 2000;Goetz 2006).…”

Convergence, Divergence, or Constancy of Spatial Planning? Connecting Theoretical Concepts with Empirical Evidence from Europe

Spatial planning across much of the world is experiencing reform in response to common challenges of globalization, sustainable development, economic competitiveness, economic reforms, and demographic change. In Europe, greater transnational networking and cooperation on spatial planning, often facilitated by European initiatives, have resulted in planning policy makers at different levels being increasingly influenced and exposed to policies and practices from elsewhere. These processes might be assumed to be leading to some sort of convergence of spatial planning policy. However, this is not necessarily the case: there are deeply embedded differences between nations in terms of political, professional, and administrative cultures and structures. There are also significant differences in social models and welfare systems across Europe, as well as different histories. These differences, which are explored conceptually and empirically in this article, potentially put a brake on the idea of the convergence or harmonization of national and sub-national arrangements for spatial planning.

“…In terms of the ESDP, for example, this is concerned with how the latter has been "applied" (Faludi, 2001;Stead & Waterhout, 2008). Various studies have been made of the EDSP's impact (Giannakourou, 2005) and that of other European policies (Waterhout, 2007) on domestic planning practices. A fourth meaning is that of the exporting of "forms of political organisation and governance that are typical and distinct for Europe beyond the European territory" (Olsen, 2002, p. 924).…”

Within the Single European Market, rules govern the procurement of public works contracts and concessions. While recent judgments by the European Court of Justice indicate that these rules could have a considerable impact on future land development planning, there has not yet been widespread Europeanization of local land development practice. In Germany, however, the Oberlandesgericht in Düsseldorf (OLGD) has ruled that European public procurement rules must be followed in those cases in which the land sold forms part of an urban development plan. This has had a significant impact on German practice, with the number of official publications of tenders for land sales by German local authorities increasing from 3 in 2006 to 100 in 2008. This paper analyses the arguments that have been put forward by the OLGD and their impact on practice. We also reflect on how Europeanization as the application of European legislation in urban planning contexts not only constitutes a form of supranational intervention in local practices, but also depends on local agencies drawing on European-level powers in order to have an effect.
