Europäisches Planungsrecht

European planning law is a disaggregated body of sectional regulations, directives and selective norms that is kept together by specific normative structures which can be called the »planning approach.« Notwithstanding the importance of European planning law, it still lacks a systematic analysis that reveals general structures and functions in the specific multi-level environment of European administrative law. Klaus Ferdinand Gärditz analyzes the characteristics of the planning approach in European law and describes them on the basis of examples taken in particular from the fields of environmental, infrastructure and scientific research law. He develops a legal system of planning norms as an integral part of European administrative law and discusses questions such as due administrative procedure and judicial remedies.
