This dataset is composed of an interview guide used to conduct 43 in-depth, qualitative, and in-person interviews with planning experts, academics and practitioners, in 14 European urban regions and the corresponding interview transcripts (verbatim). These interviews were conducted in the selected urban regions between March and September 2016. They were first digitally recorded and later thoroughly transcribed.
