Scape v 2

After the journal's successful launch in April 2006, the forthcoming fall issue deals with the subject of Western European urban and regional planning during the postwar years. The following articles set the emphasis: the merits of town planning in the postwar period; the development of new cities in Holland, England, and France; the role of green spaces and public space in the reevaluation of urban planning; The war-torn landscape: the reconstruction of borders and front lines and the example of the Dutch border - the master plan for the reconstruction of the German Limes Road, the redesign of a German fortress; an interview with Michael van Gessel, chairman of the jury of Landscape Architecture Europe, who was recently honored with the "Bijhouwer" prize; the Dutch "Belvedere professors'" round-table conference on preservation and development; and an essayistic retrospective on urban planning and landscape architecture during the postwar period.
