The first comprehensive and interdisciplinary study of the history of planning across Europe, the Routledge Handbook of Planning History has established itself as a landmark work in the field. Building on this foundation, the upcoming volume, Pan-European Planning Historiography, aims to take international planning historiography to new heights.

This groundbreaking work brings together a diverse group of international authors, including renowned scholars from around the world. With a focus on cutting-edge research and innovative perspectives, the book will explore a wide range of established topics and questions in planning history, such as housing and heritage, while also delving into emerging areas such as informal planning in Europe, planning and dictatorship, and planning and anarchism.

One of the key strengths of Pan-European Planning Historiography is its critical review of the planning practices of unrestrained growth societies at a time when new models of development, such as the Green Deal, are being sought. The book will examine how these societies approached spatial planning and how their approaches have shaped the modern landscape. By analyzing the successes and failures of past planning practices, the book will provide valuable insights into the challenges and opportunities facing contemporary spatial planning.

In addition to its academic value, Pan-European Planning Historiography will also appeal to a broader audience, including policymakers, urban planners, and anyone interested in the history and future of cities and regions. The book will offer a wealth of information and analysis that can help inform decision-making and promote sustainable and inclusive development.

With its commitment to excellence, interdisciplinary approach, and global perspective, Pan-European Planning Historiography is poised to become a landmark publication in the field of planning history. It will undoubtedly inspire future generations of scholars and practitioners to explore the rich and complex history of planning and its role in shaping the world we live in today.
