Rightly or wrongly, Dutch planning is the object of international acclaim. A Cambridge-educated economist, planner and long-term resident in The Netherlands, Barrie Needham combines a critical view with insider knowledge gained as the distinguished Dutch academic and adviser on matters of land policy and planning which he is. Importantly, his assessment addresses the fundamental changes which Dutch planning is undergoing. - Andreas Faludi, Delft University of Technology, The Netherlands To the outsider Dutch land use, urban and environmental planning both amazes and confounds. In this incisive volume Barrie Needham - a scholar, participant, and long-time foreign resident - explains its why, how and what, both with empathy and a critical eye. An invaluable contribution in an era where the Dutch model offers many lessons for the practice of sustainability. - Harvey M. Jacobs, University of Wisconsin, Madison, USA [T]he book will certainly be useful to all those interested in urban e-planning and in comparative planning studies and /or with an interest for the Dutch spatial planning system, seen and praised by the planning community around the world as a model planning system. - International Journal of E-Planning Research, Carlos Nunes Silva, Institute of Geography and Spatial Planning, Universidade de Lisboa, Lisbon, Portugal
