Urban spatial policy: a European gender perspective GREED, Clara H. The gender dimensions of urban form and town planning policy are investigated drawing on findings from research on 'women and town planning' in Britain, and making comparisons with the wider European situation. Even if women do have different policies this is irrelevant if they are not represented in decision-making groups. Therefore the representation of women in the built environment professions and urban policy making levels is discussed. lt is argued that in order to change spatial policy it is essential to increase women's participation in town planning, and to make the consideration of gender issues a required component of policy-making.

Environmental determinants of industrial development in transforming Poland BURCHARD-DZIUBIŃSKA, Małgorzata This report contains a synthesis of studies which were focused on ecological aspects of the restructuring of Polish industry during the recent period. The studies covered the macro-, mezo-, and microeconomic level and they aimed at discribing various determinants and effectiveness of the ecological policy. Due to the fact that a predominant part of all air, water and soil pollutants are of industrial origin, it is in a broadly understood restructuring of industry that ways of solving the problems arising at the intersection of economy and natural environment should be sought. The transformation should encompass both the branch structure and the commodity structure of industry. The period of systemie transformation witnessed by Poland those days has aroused hopes for a joint solution of economic and ecological problems. The present report is an attermpt to answer the question whether these expcctations can come true.

Does the CAP fit? The regionalisation of the common agricultural policy BRISTOW, Gillian This paper traces the development of regional farm policies under the aegis of the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP). lt is suggested that policy's nexibility in respect of different regional circumstances has critically depended on its role in the European integration proccss. As long as the CAP has remaincd the cornerstonc of this process, its common pricing policy has remained sacrosanct. dcspite its regressive features. Successive Community enlargements and cvidencc or widening regional form disparities have prompted more spatially variable farm policy measures. Post-Maastricht, the principles established by these policy developments can conceivably be supportcd by the removal of common pricing.

International migration; a comprehensive framework for a survey of the literature NIJKAMP, Peter; VOSKUILEN, Maurice This paper describes intemational migration in a changing political and economic environment. Recent trends in migration cannot be fully cxplained by convential economic labour demand and supply approaches, since migration flows have increased despite the limited job opportunities in the regions of destination. A different approach which explains the recent migration flows is developed within the systems approach. Using this approach, this paper introduces a conceptual framework which depicts migration motives and decisions and the factors which influence these decisions. An overview of macroeconomic foctors influencing the migration decision is given and policies, which to a large extent determine whether migration is possible or not, are described. Furthermore, the labour market consequences of migration are described. lt is found that the impact of immigrants on the host countries is usually positivc. However, these results are mainly found in the United States and therefore have no universal validity. In Europe, these findings may he somewhat different due to the different institutional settings. Furthemore, immigrant groups are not equally distributed throughout the country but are often conccntrated in city areas. Research should therefore he concentrated on the effects at the urban level.
