  • Woonakkoord Oost-Nederland
    Woonakkoord Oost-Nederland Woonakkoord Oost Woonakkoord Oost-Nederland Met trots bieden we u het Woonakkoord Oost-Nederland aan en nodigen het ministerie van Binnenlandse Zaken en Koninkrijksrelaties uit samen hieraan verder te bouwen. Een akkoord dat de steden Arnhem en Nijmegen, de regio’s Zwolle-Deventer- Enschede en Arnhem-Nijmegen-FoodValley/Ede en de provincies Overijssel en Gelderland met het Rijk willen sluiten. We zijn blij dat het Rijk de grote urgentie van de woningbouwopgave in Oost-Nederland ziet en daar met ons op verder wil bouwen. We willen in genoemde steden en regio’s in de komende 5 jaar 75.000 woningen bijbouwen voor starters, doorstromers en alleenstaanden. We zijn bereid om naar innovatieve en flexibele bouwwijzen en verstedelijking te kijken om snel en slim mensen van een huis te voorzien. De Randstad verschuift naar het Oosten Alleen al vanuit de Randstad verwachten we de komende 5 jaar zo’n 60.000 nieuwe huishoudens in het oosten. De verhuisstroom uit de Randstad zorgt voor een snelle verstedelijking in onze steden. Er is nog steeds een grote verhuisstroom naar de Randstad, maar dat zijn vooral jonge mensen die geen huis achter laten. De nieuwkomers vanuit de Randstad zijn vooral gezinnen en ouderen die een nieuwe woning zoeken. We delen de grote woonopgave op in een woondeal voor de steden Arnhem en Nijmegen waar de woningnood het meest urgent is en een verstedelijkingsstrategie voor de regio’s Zwolle-Deventer- Enschede en Arnhem-Nijmegen-FoodValley/Ede. Met aandacht voor de bereikbaarheid van de steden en binnen de steden. Het gaat daarbij niet alleen om weg-, spoor- en fietsverbindingen, maar ook om nieuwe vormen van mobiliteit.

  • The Path to the FAIR HANSA FAIR for More Than 600 Years, a Unique Network HANSA of Merchants Existed in Northern Europe
    The path to the FAIR HANSA FAIR For more than 600 years, a unique network HANSA of merchants existed in Northern Europe. The cooperation of this consortium of merchants for the promotion of their foreign trade gave rise to an association of cities, to which around 200 coastal and inland cities belonged in the course of time. The Hanseatic League in the Middle Ages These cities were located in an area that today encom- passes seven European countries: from the Dutch Zui- derzee in the west to Baltic Estonia in the east, and from Sweden‘s Visby / Gotland in the north to the Cologne- Erfurt-Wroclaw-Krakow perimeter in the south. From this base, the Hanseatic traders developed a strong economic in uence, which during the 16th century extended from Portugal to Russia and from Scandinavia to Italy, an area that now includes 20 European states. Honest merchants – Fair Trade? Merchants, who often shared family ties to each other, were not always fair to producers and craftsmen. There is ample evidence of routine fraud and young traders in far- ung posts who led dissolute lives. It has also been proven that slave labor was used. ̇ ̆ Trading was conducted with goods that were typically regional, and sometimes with luxury goods: for example, wax and furs from Novgorod, cloth, silver, metal goods, salt, herrings and Chronology: grain from Hanseatic cities such as Lübeck, Münster or Dortmund 12th–14th Century - “Kaufmannshanse”. Establishment of Hanseatic trading posts (Hanseatic kontors) with common privi- leges for Low German merchants 14th–17th Century - “Städtehanse”. Cooperation between the Hanseatic cit- ies to defend their trade privileges and Merchants from di erent cities in di erent enforce common interests, especially at countries formed convoys and partnerships.

  • Why Did the Netherlands Develop So Early? the Legacy of the Brethren of the Common Life
    CPB Discussion Paper | 228 Why Did the Netherlands Develop so Early? The Legacy of the Brethren of the Common Life İ. Semih Akçomak Dinand Webbink Bas ter Weel Why Did the Netherlands Develop so Early? The Legacy of the Brethren of the Common Life* İ. Semih Akçomak Middle East Technical University [email protected] Dinand Webbink Erasmus University Rotterdam and CPB [email protected] Bas ter Weel CPB and Maastricht University [email protected] Abstract This research provides an explanation for high literacy, economic growth and societal developments in the Netherlands in the period before the Dutch Republic. We establish a link between the Brethren of the Common Life (BCL), a religious community founded by Geert Groote in the city of Deventer in the late fourteenth century, and the early development of the Netherlands. The BCL stimulated human capital accumulation by educating Dutch citizens without inducing animosity from the dominant Roman Catholic Church or other political rulers. Human capital had an impact on the structure of economic development in the period immediately after 1400. The educated workforce put pressure on the Habsburg monarchy leading to economic and religious resentment and eventually to the Revolt in 1572. The analyses show that the BCL contributed to the high rates of literacy in the Netherlands. In addition, there are positive effects of the BCL on book production and on city growth in the fifteenth and sixteenth century. Finally, we find that cities with BCL-roots were more likely to join the Dutch Revolt. These findings are supported by regressions that use distance to Deventer as an instrument for the presence of BCL.

  • Introduction Day To
    Stagecoach Tour - 7 dagen DUTCH BIKETOURS - EMAIL: [email protected] - TELEPHONE +31 (0)24 3244712 - WWW.DUTCH-BIKETOURS.COM Stagecoach Tour 7 days, € 570 Introduction The lovely Stagecoach Route runs through attractive and diverse landscapes. The Posbank, for example, is part of National Park Veluwezoom. It’s an area of heath, pine trees and sand drifts. After a hefty climb to the top, enjoy breathtaking views. You’ll also visit a riverbank nature reserve as well as a string of pretty towns that used to be members of the Hansa League, a Northern European alliance of trading guilds in the 13th-17th Centuries. You will pass the former Hanseatic towns and cities such as Hattem, Zwolle, Deventer, Zutphen, Harderwijk and Elburg. Day to Day Day 1 Arrival in Ede Arrival in Ede Day 2 Ede - Strand Nulde 56 km From the hotel you leave Ede and go in the direction of Lunteren. Your first destination is the geographic center of the Netherlands at the Lunterse Goudsberg, where you cycle between woods, heathland, drifting sands and old farmland. If you opt for the standard (longer) route, you will find the so-called Celtic Fields, just past the drifting sand area Wek eromse Zand. The Celtic Fields are agricultural land from the Iron Age, with a reconstructed farm. Continue the route to the Veluwe region, with a mix of forest, heathland and sand with agricultural villages such as Kootwijk and Garderen in between. The shorter route of 47 km goes over Barneveld, once the junction of Hanze and Hessen weggen. This route meanders through a varied agricultural landscape interspersed with woods, heaths and peatlands and many hamlets such as Appel.
