Regional and transnational spatial planningFootnote1

The background of this paper and this special issue is informed by research conducted within the framework of the EURBANET project co‐financed by the European Community through the INTERREG IIC programme for the North‐West Metropolitan Area (NWMA). The contribution of Wil Zonneveld is part of the NWO‐ESR programme ‘Spatial Developments and Policies in Polynuclear Urban Configurations in Northwest Europe’ which was financed by NWO, BNG (Dutch Municipalities Bank) and the municipalities of Amsterdam, Rotterdam, The Hague and Utrecht.
