City profile: The Hague
Highlights The Hague is the seat of many international organisations related to peace and justice. Policies to expand this cluster have become more entrepreneurial. Policies increasingly focus on hospitality and quality of life. Governmental efforts focus on expanding the related business cluster of security. Borrowing size from other Randstad cities is essential to compete with larger cities.
Abstract Over the years, the relatively small city of The Hague has come to play an important role on the world stage by establishing itself as the seat of international organisations, particularly in the field of peace and justice. This city profile analyses the ambitions, challenges and policies related to this global positioning of the city, and discusses these within the framework of a more general sketch of the city’s historical development, its social, economic and physical-locational conditions. Particular emphasis is placed on its location in the wider Randstad metropolitan region and how The Hague can borrow size and function from its neighbouring cities to strengthen its global position.
