Planning for spatial equity in Europe
Since planners plan, they claim that their local, regional or national spatial plans are crucial for achieving spatial equity. Starting from the difficulties of defining spatial equity, the paper explores some European dimensions of spatial equity, thereby referring to three recent documents: the Commission's First Report on Social and Economic Cohesion, the Opinion on Spatial Planning of the Committee of the Regions and the draft European Spatial Development Perspective, having been approved by the Ministers of the Member States of the European Union in June 1997. This is followed by a brief assessment of the role of existing European networks of infrastructure, production, information and power, or those of memories and images, in creating spatial equity in Europe. The paper ends with a presentation and brief justification of the normative concept of the European Bunch of Grapes as a mental vision for spatial equity in Europe.
