Town and regional planning in the Netherlands 1920–1945
The discovery between 1900 and 1920 of the region as a planning unit is interpreted as the result of rapid changes in three essential planning sectors: housing, traffic planning, and provincial and municipal administration. To co‐ordinate the activities of the specialist sectors a new science was introduced: modern town planning or planology, the science of co‐ordinating all regional spatial intentions.
The impact of modern town planning during the twenties and thirties, with regional planning as a nodal point, is shown by the example of the International Town Planning Congress at Amsterdam in 1924. Four visionary models for regional planning are examined and the main combinations of regional survey and plans are summarised.
Finally the extension of regional planning by a State Service for National Planning (1941) is described. The introduction of the State Service, installed under the pressure of the German occupiers, completed the institutionalisation of Dutch regional planning.
