Urbanization in Dutch Polders: The Evolution of the Randstad Conception
Since many centuries villages and towns have been built and expanded in the 'Low Lands' on reclaimed land. In most cases valuable agricultural land had to be conversed into new residential area. Since the end of the Fifties' the Southern-IJssellake region plays a crucial act in the Randstad conception. Two new towns with high targets, assessed by committments between the state, the province and local authorities, are related to housing problems in the northern Randstad. Between the Fifties' and Eighties' spatial policy on urbanization is moving from emphasis on spreading and radiation to an increasing accent on contraction and concentration of urban functions within restricted agglomeration areas.
