This book discusses the innovative research instruments developed and employed in the Netherlands, examining their strengths and weaknesses and comparing them with classic environmental planning policy methods. It argues that having a wide and varied range of methods available to local communities from which they themselves can choose is key to the Dutch creativity and success in sustainable spatial planning policy. It suggests best future practice and shows how these new methods can contribute in our on-going attempts to develop and deliver liveable, pleasant and sustainable towns and cities.
In recent years, Dutch environmental policy has undergone some pivotal changes, the most significant of which have been decentralization and deregulation, encouraging local communities to develop and deliver policies which are tailor-made to their particular situation. These changes have led to the development of some innovative practical instruments for aiding sustainable environmental spatial policy. This book discusses these new ''methods for environmental externalities'' and their significance in the development and delivery of Dutch environmental policies, particularly how they ensure that issues such as health and hygiene are introduced in the early stages of spatial planning processes. This book highlights the most prominent and relevant of these innovative ''methods for environmental externalities'' as well as comparing them with some of the classic methods, and analysing strengths and weaknesses. It argues that having such a broad and varied choice of methods is the key to ensuring the impressive and groundbreaking Dutch creativity in environmental management. In conclusion, the book extrapolates current trends in environmental policy, expresses likely and possible developments in ''methods for environmental externalities'' and shows how such methods can contribute in our ongoing attempts to develop and deliver liveable, pleasant and sustainable towns and cities.
