Die Niederlande seien das möglicherweise am meisten überplante Land Europas, mit einer tief verwurzelten Planungskultur von Ordnung und Effizienz, reklamieren die Autoren von "The Selfmade Land" gleich zu Beginn des Buches. Obwohl die Niederlande ein relativ kleines Land sind, wird deren Raumplanung in der internationalen Fachliteratur viel beachtet und diskutiert (Faludi und van der Valk 1994; Wesselink et al. 2007; Buitelaar 2010). "The Selfmade Land" reiht sich somit in eine Anzahl englischsprachiger Fachbücher über die niederländische Raumplanung ein. So behandelt Needham (2007) beispielsweise in "Dutch land-use planning" bodenpolitische Funktionen und Effekte der niederländischen Planung, Hajer et al. (2010) reflektieren in "Strong Stories – how the Dutch are reinventing spatial planning" anhand von Praxisbeispielen planungstheoretische Konzepte in den Niederlanden. Die Autoren von "The Selfmade Land" nehmen eine kulturhistorische Perspektive auf niederländische Raumplanung ein. Das Buch versteht sich dabei nicht vorrangig als ein wissenschaftliches Fachbuch (S. 12), sondern adressiert mit seinem wissenschaftsjournalistischen Schreibstil ein breiteres planungsinteressiertes Publikum und thematisiert dabei die Kultur und Entwicklung der Raumplanung in den Niederlanden. Bei dem Buch handelt es sich um eine seit 1986 stetig überarbeitete und nun erstmals ins Englische übersetzte und erweiterte Ausgabe von "Ruimtelijke ordening: van grachtengordel to Vinex-wijk" (van der Cammen und de Klerk 2003). Während die ursprünglichen Versionen des Buches von Hans van der Cammen und Len de Klerk stammen, sind bei der vorliegenden Version des Buches nun zwei weitere Autoren beteiligt: Gerhard Dekker und Peter Paul Witsen.

National-level spatial planning in democratic countries has been all but ignored by researchers in urban and regional planning since the reconstruction years following World War II. Being synonymous for many with repressive regimes and coercive government practices, national-level planning also fell into some disrepute. A set of specially commissioned papers from leading researchers has produced this challenging and comprehensive study of current national-level planning in ten countries of the developed world. Challenging common assumptions, this comparative international study finds that ther

"Recent technological advancements and other related factors and trends are contributing to the production of an astoundingly large and rapidly accelerating collection of data, or 'Big Data'. This data now allows us to examine urban and regional phenomena in ways that were previously not possible. Despite the tremendous potential of big data for regional science, its use and application in this context is fraught with issues and challenges. This book brings together leading contributors to present an interdisciplinary, agenda-setting and action-oriented platform for research and practice in the urban and regional community. This book provides a comprehensive, multidisciplinary and cutting-edge perspective on big data for regional science. Chapters contain a collection of research notes contributed by experts from all over the world with a wide array of disciplinary backgrounds. The content is organized along four themes: sources of big data; integration, processing and management of big data; analytics for big data; and, higher level policy and programmatic considerations. As well as concisely and comprehensively synthesising work done to date, the book also considers future challenges and prospects for the use of big data in regional science.Big Data for Regional Science provides a seminal contribution to the field of regional science and will appeal to a broad audience, including those at all levels of academia, industry, and government.
