Urbanisation in the Fifth Policy Document on Spatial Planning in the Netherlands Authors Arjen J. van der Burg Staatliches Amt für Raumordnung Abteilung Städtische Gebiete, Ministerium für Wohnungswesen, Raumordnung und Umwelt, Postfach 30940, NL-2500 GX, Den Haag DOI: https://doi.org/10.1007/BF03183043 Keywords: Article Abstract In the draft of the Fifth Policy Document on Spatial Planning (December 2000), the Dutch government formulated the urbanisation task as follows: to contain the forces that lead to a distribution of urban activities, building and infrastructure over an ever increasing area, thus minimising spatial quality, and, at the same time, to make room for the ‘network society’. The answer to this problem is threefold: Every country part should meet its own spatial needs; overspill between the four country parts is not encouraged. Urban networks should, where possible, meet the demand for housing, employment and services. Existing built-up areas should be optimally used throughout; new expansion areas may only be realised within a previously agreed red contour. Downloads Download data is not yet available.
