Abstract

Spatial planning as technical activity of supporting spatial decision-making is deeply embedded in the history of mankind. However, this specific terminology came to fore in the planning disciplinary field in the late 1980s, replacing a plethora of terms and definitions indicating sectoral fields or different scales and allowing the use of one single expression referred to methods and approaches generally aimed at influencing the distribution of activities in the space. In fact, while in the United States, “spatial planning” is sometime used as synonymous with urban planning, in Europe it is used with reference to any scale.
