Use and Misuse of Indicators in Spatial Planning: The Example of Land Take

Antoine Decoville

Planning Practice & Research, 2018, vol. 33, issue 1, 70-85

Abstract: The use of indicators to assess the impacts of spatial planning policies has experienced a strong increase in the last decades, despite the difficulties to identify clear causality links in this discipline. The aim of this article is to critically reflect on the impacts of such a phenomenon on spatial planning policies and practices. In order to do so, it explores the issue of land take and how the European Community has set up a policy objective, based on an indicator, to try to tackle the phenomenon.
