Popis: The UK has recently made a significant shift away from its longstanding profile as the classical unitary state within European planning systems, and moved closer to the regionalized unitary state model. The paper examines the new planning system of the UK and alternative scenarios for the future direction of spatial planning in the UK, with particular reference to regional governance. The paper looks at the lessons that might be learnt for the future from the past Kilbrandon Report on the Constitution. The future direction of spatial planning and multi-level governance for the UK is considered within the context of the European dimension. The paper reviews typologies of spatial planning for both the current Member countries of the EU and the ten Central and East European applicant countries. The paper concludes by drawing attention to the rapid pace of change achieved in recent years, some uncertainty over future changes that might be expected, and the need to address issues arising from an enlarged EU.
