  • Planning the Horticultural Sector Managing Greenhouse Sprawl in the Netherlands
    Planning the Horticultural Sector Managing Greenhouse Sprawl in the Netherlands Korthals Altes, W.K., Van Rij, E. (2013) Planning the horticultural sector: Managing greenhouse sprawl in the Netherlands, Land Use Policy, 31, 486-497 Abstract Greenhouses are a typical example of peri-urban land-use, a phenomenon that many planning systems find difficult to address as it mixes agricultural identity with urban appearance. Despite its urban appearance, greenhouse development often manages to evade urban containment policies. But a ban on greenhouse development might well result in under-utilisation of the economic value of the sector and its potential for sustainability. Specific knowledge of the urban and rural character of greenhouses is essential for the implementation of planning strategies. This paper analyses Dutch planning policies for greenhouses. It concludes with a discussion of how insights from greenhouse planning can be applied in other contexts involving peri-urban areas. Keywords: greenhouses; horticulture; land-use planning; the Netherlands; peri-urban land-use 1 Introduction The important role played by the urban-rural dichotomy in planning practice is a complicating factor in planning strategies for peri-urban areas, often conceptualised as border areas (the rural-urban fringe) or as an intermediate zone between city and countryside (the rural-urban transition zone) (Simon, 2008). However, “[t]he rural-urban fringe has a special, and not simply a transitional, land-use pattern that distinguishes it from more distant countryside and more urbanised space.” (Gallent and Shaw, 2007, 621) Planning policies tend to overlook this specific peri-environment, focusing rather on the black-and-white difference between urban and rural while disregarding developments in the shadow of cities (Hornis and Van Eck, 2008).

  • Mobility As a Service – Regional Pilots
    Mobility as a Service – regional pilots 1. MaaS pilot Rotterdam: ‘Rotterdam-The Hague Airport’ 2. MaaS pilot Amsterdam: ‘Starting with and in Zuidas’ 3. MaaS pilot Eindhoven: ‘Sustainability’ 4. MaaS Pilot Limburg: ‘Borderless mobility Limburg’ 5. MaaS pilot Groningen-Drenthe: ‘Accessibility for rural areas’ 6. MaaS pilot Twente: ‘Participation’ 7. MaaS pilot Utrecht-Leidsche Rijn: 'Vinex'. 1. MaaS pilot Rotterdam: ‘Rotterdam-The Hague Airport’ Local authority: Municipality of Rotterdam and Municipality of The Hague. Introduction: Rotterdam-The Hague Airport is faced with a large accessibility issue. The airport is currently only easily accessible by car; 78% of the visitors to Rotterdam The Hague come by car. In addition to (inter)national travellers, this also concerns people who work at the airport, or companies that are located around it. The airport would like to experiment with new mobility solutions. MaaS can enable a seamless and smooth door-to-door journey, improve the accessibility of the airport and increase the level of service for the traveller. The MaaS service provider creates transparency in the demand for mobility, which can lead to the development of new products or the adaptation of services. Approach: The MaaS pilot will start with a focus on Rotterdam-The Hague Airport. The airport already has specific knowledge about the different types of passengers using the airport and how to reach them (e.g. airlines and travel professionals). This is valuable knowledge that will be made available to the MaaS service provider and to which the travel advice can be adapted. The (inter)national traveller is a separate target group because, for example, they usually travel with luggage and therefore do not want to use all types of mobility services.

  • The Austrian Netherlands in the Second Half of the Eighteenth Century a Cautious Recovery
    Chapter 2 The Austrian Netherlands in the Second Half of the Eighteenth Century A Cautious Recovery In many respects the second half of the eighteenth century was a relatively prosperous era for the Southern Netherlands. The Habsburg empress Maria- Theresa came to represent an international political climate which afforded the Austrian Netherlands a period of peace and stability. Moreover, the posi- tion of the Habsburgs on the international stage was emboldened by the Treaty of Aix-la-Chapelle (1748), allowing the government to introduce a cautious but efficient customs policy. For the first time since 1648, the customs administra- tion developed a pragmatic-mercantilist trade policy in support of the nation’s domestic industries.1 Seen in hindsight this policy may appear rather incoher- ent, particularly owing to its countless obscure regulations and exceptions, yet it nonetheless may have been a huge step towards achieving import-substitu- tion in several strategic sectors and according to some even to an export-driven growth.2 Moreover, the local administrators – though they were elected by and accountable to the Habsburg emperors – seemed to be genuinely concerned about this small corner of the empire and appeared to recognize its economic potentials. Likewise, the Austrian Netherlands were granted a larger degree of self-government than were the Habsburg hereditary lands.3 Although there is no small degree of dispute regarding the condition of the Austrian Netherlands’ international trade flows, a somewhat broader consen- sus exists concerning the nation’s general economic situation. For the decades before 1750 historians usually agree that economic life was, in virtually every respect, bleak and stagnant but that circumstances subsequently began to 1 It should be noted that the term “industry” needs to be taken with a pinch of salt.
