There are, however, significant national and regional differences in the use of cartographic visualisations in strategic spatial planning in European countries, which can cause problems when several countries come together to discuss policy options for a transnational territory, as for the preparation of the European Spatial Development Perspective. In an attempt to understand better the differences in visualising spatial policy in different planning traditions, this paper reports on findings from an analysis of the form of cartographic visualisations in strategic spatial planning documents in England and Germany. In particular, differences in the written and visual representations of spatial policies, and the \u2018scientific\u2019 or \u2018artistic\u2019 representation on policy maps are considered. The findings show that, although the function of plans in the planning system ultimately determines the form and style of visualisations, traditional and \u2018scientific\u2019 representations seem to dominate planning at regional level in these countries, and experiences with an \u2018artistic\u2019 style of visualisation are limited. The paper concludes with a discussion of the relevance of these findings for transnational spatial policy processes, where a communication-oriented use of cartographic visualisations appears most appropriate.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1068\/a35262","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2004,10,15]],"date-time":"2004-10-15T10:57:41Z","timestamp":1097837861000},"page":"1961-1989","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":16,"title":["The Form, Style, and Use of Cartographic Visualisations in European Spatial Planning: Examples from England and Germany"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"36","author":[{"given":"Stefanie","family":"D\u00fchr","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Centre for Environment and Planning, Faculty of the Built Environment, University of the West of England, Frenchay Campus, Bristol BS16 1QY, England"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2004,11,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-a35262","volume-title":"Raumordnungspolitischer Orientierungsrahmen.
