  • The Useful and the Agreeable Country Houses As Investment?
    THE USEFUL AND THE AGREEABLE COUNTRY HOUSES AS INVESTMENT? > by Fred Vogelzang K&B editor-in-chief and scientific researcher Dutch Castle Foundation, centre for study on castles and country houses Estates are often presented as luxurious country houses, built from the 17th century onwards by the elites as an escape from the filthy and overcrowded cities. However various other motives have been put forward for the construction of country houses: they are fashionable status symbols that could also function as economic assets. New studies by Brusse and Mijnhardt (Towards a new Template) and Piketty (Capitalism in the 21st Century) give reason to shine a new light on these economic motivations. > DE BUITENPLAATS MET AGRARISCH BEDRIJF MEERZICHT BIJ ZOETERMEER. ENJOYMENT OR INVESTMENT? FOTO ALBERT SPEELMAN R. van Luttervelt, who was among the first to study country houses scientifically, gives several reasons for the construction of After years of historical research into the Zeeland past they these luxurious retreats.1 Besides the love of nature he also arrived at the conclusion that the common division of Dutch clearly emphasises economic motives. The flourishing commerce history in the periods Revolt, Bataafse Period and Kingdom, and shipping industry of the 17th century brought in large determined by political make-up, should make way for a new amounts of wealth, triggering a diligent search for investment paradigm in which the (more social and economical) relationship opportunities for the profits. Farms and agricultural land became between city and countryside is the main reference point. This sought-after objects for investment, but castles and country paradigm should also hold true outside of Zeeland, allowing houses also served as investment opportunities.

Cor Rademaker Curriculum in Environment and Ecology I. Introduction The world is undergoing the largest wave of urban growth in history. More than half of the world’s population now lives in towns and cities, and by 2030 this number will swell to about 5 billion. Much of this urbanization will unfold in Africa and Asia, bringing huge social, economic, and environmental transformations. Intensifying urbanization is not only a phenomenon of developing countries but also of developed countries. For example, many of the larger cities in the Benelux region (like Brussels, Antwerp, Rotterdam, and Amsterdam) are experiencing growth rates at or above 2% on annual basis.

  • 3.1•The Randstad: the Creation of a Metropolitan Economy Pietertordoir
    A. The Economic, Infrastructural and Environmental Dilemmas of Spatial Development 3.1•The Randstad: The Creation of a Metropolitan Economy PieterTordoir Introduction In this chapter, I will discuss the future scenarios for the spatial and economic devel- opment of the Randstad (the highly urbanized western part of the Netherlands). Dur- ing the past 50 years, this region of six million inhabitants, four major urban centers and 20 medium-sized cities within an area the size of the Ile de France evolved into an increasingly undifferentiated patchwork of daily urban systems, structured by the sprawl of business and new towns along highway axes. There is increasing pressure from high economic and population growth and congestion, particularly in the northern wing of the Randstad, which includes the two overlapping commuter fields of Amsterdam and Utrecht. Because of land scarcity and a rising awareness of environ- mental issues, the Dutch planning tradition of low-density urban development has be- come increasingly irrelevant. The new challenge is for sustainable urban development, where the accommoda- tion of at least a million new inhabitants and jobs in the next 25 years must be com- bined with higher land-use intensities, a significant modal shift to public transporta- tion, and a substantial increase in the quality and diversity of the natural environment and the quality of life in the region.1 Some of these goals may be reached simultane- ously by concentrating development in high-density nodes that provide a critical mass for improved mass transit systems, rendering an alternative for car-dependent com- muters. Furthermore, a gradual integration of the various daily urban systems may benefit the quality and diversity of economic, social, natural, and cultural local envi- ronments within the polynuclear urban field.

A.Y. Hoekstra Daily supervisor: Dr. ir. D.C.M. Augustijn External supervisors: ir. A.H.M. Struker (Waternet) Prof. Dr. ir. J.P. van der Hoek (Waternet / TU Delft) 3 4 Preface In this report I present my thesis concerning resource recovery from Amsterdam’s wastewater chain. I conducted the research in cooperation with the University of Twente and Waternet, which performs all water related tasks for the City of Amsterdam and the Regional Water Authority Amstel, Gooi and Vecht. My time at Waternet introduced me to the world of drinking-water and wastewater treatment; a relatively new topic to me. The graduation process opened my eyes to see a great sector where sustainability is high on the agenda. The fact that wastewater quality and the provision of essential resources, like phosphorus, are in the public interest was a great attraction to me. The whole time I kept wondering how things could be better or more sustainable. At one point I even found myself wondering whether it was more sustainable to use a pencil or a pen, which I thought was overdoing it! I would like to thank my supervisors at Waternet: André Struker and Jan Peter van der Hoek.

  • De Franschen in De Vechtstreek in 1672 (Pdf)
    De Franschen in de Vechtstreek in 1672 d:\hist_top\schoemaker(hss)\hss-1672\Vechtstreek Medegedeeld door I.M. VAN WIJHE. J.M. van Wijhe, die waarschijnlijk in Den Haag woonde, maar waarover verder niets werd gevonden, schreef in de twintiger jaren van de vorige eeuw artikelen in verschillende periodieken. Vaak waren dat uittreksels uit oude handschriften, waaronder die van Andries Schoemaker. Zo vinden we in het Jaarboekje van het Oudheidkundig Genootschap 'Niftarlake' van 1923, pag. 6 - 17 een gedeelte uit Schoemakers Beschryving van Utrecht (&) Overijssel), dat we hier onverkort weergeven. Een stukje transcriptie uit: Beschryving van Utrecht (&) Overijssel) door Schoemaker Op de Kon. Bibliotheek te 's-Hage bevinden zich een aantal manuscripten, waarin plaatsbeschrijvingen van Andries Schoemaker, die deze ook met uit de hand gekleurde afbeeldingen heeft voorzien. Een daarvan bevat min of meer uitgebreide aanteekeningen hoe de Franschen anno 1672 in de stad en de provincie Utrecht en in andere deelen van ons land hebben huisgehouden. Op het titelblad staat: UTRECHT. ,,De stadt en het geheele Sticht werd in den jare 1672 bemagtigt van de Francen, alwaar dat se slegt huusgehouden hebben en het jaar daaraan sijn se sonder slag of stoot weder weghgetrocken, doch niet sonder groote knevelarij en brantschatting, die seer swaar was te moeten betalen".

  • Halfjaarrapportage HOV in 'T Gooi
    Halfjaarrapportage HOV in ’t Gooi augustus 2019 t/m januari 2020 148676/1366079 Projectnaam: HOV in ’t Gooi Programma: Openbaar Vervoer Bestuurlijk Opdrachtgever(s): Z. Pels Datum: 18 februari 2020 Het project De provincie Noord-Holland investeert in R-net, een betrouwbaar OV-netwerk. Onderdeel van dit netwerk is de hoogwaardige openbaarvervoer verbinding (HOV) tussen Huizen en Hilversum. De regio krijgt hierdoor een frequente, snelle en betrouwbare OV-verbinding met Amsterdam, Schiphol en Almere. Daarnaast wordt Huizen, een van de grootste gemeenten in Nederland zonder treinstation, veel beter ontsloten. Ook Blaricum, Eemnes en Laren krijgen een sterk verbeterde aansluiting op R-net. Belangrijk onderdeel hiervan is de aanleg of uitbreiding van P+R-terreinen met HOV-haltes. Automobilisten krijgen hierdoor een gemakkelijke overstap op de bus. In de omgeving van Schiphol, Haarlem en Amsterdam is R-net al enkele jaren een succes. Ook in Zuid-Holland, Flevoland en Utrecht wordt R-net uitgerold. Het project HOV in 't Gooi gaat echter over meer dan een HOV-verbinding. Een deel van het projectbudget wordt besteed aan het verbeteren van het leefklimaat, het verhogen van de verkeersveiligheid en het versterken van de natuur. Door een nieuwe natuurbrug (ecoduct) bij Anna’s Hoeve hebben flora en fauna de ruimte om zich tussen het Laarder Wasmeer en Monnikenberg te verplaatsen en te ontwikkelen. Met de ondertunneling van de bus- en spoorbaan bij de Oosterengweg in Hilversum wordt het laatste knelpunt van de Hilversumse ring opgelost; voor automobilisten, fietsers en voetgangers wordt het hier veel veiliger. Figuur 1: Het tracé Het tracé is met de verschillende raadsbesluiten in de gemeenten en het besluit van Provinciale Staten van Noord-Holland op 9 juli 2012 vastgesteld (zie bovenstaande figuur).

  • The Randstad : Face and Form
    IFoU 2006 Beijing International Conference Modernization and Regionalism – Re-inventing the Urban Identity THE RANDSTAD : FACE AND FORM E. Brandes Faculty of Urbanism TU Delft, P.O. Box 5043, Delft, The Netherlands, *Email: [email protected] ABSTRACT: The Dutch poly-nuclear metropolis the product of urban design and policies of spatial planning over many years. The underlying landscape and the history of urban planning are the base of its current form and face. Now the different urban areas get absorbed in the new unity the Randstad. Like before a masterplan should be made at the higher scale, and on local scale guidelines and flexible realization plans. A plan which respects the existing cities and landscape, combined with an authority and a policy to realize it. The Netherlands have to continue its valuable tradition in urbanization. KEYWORDS: Randstad, a poly-nuclear structure by landscape and history, differentiation, policy of concentration, at the urban scale and the regional scale 1 INTRODUCTION The Netherlands are currently in the process of forming a metropolis. Nowadays about six million inhabitants are living in the relatively small area Holland (the western part of the Netherlands). [1] The urban area is made up of a number of ‘big’ cities, middle large towns and the open or partly urbanized landscape in between. This poly-nuclear constellation differs from that of Paris and Beijing, examples of cities, which mono-centrally spread them selves out over a whole region. This urban network is there for considered by Dutch planners as a metropolis, although quantatively it falls short of the real large cities of the world.

This master thesis is the final assignment for the master-track Management in the Built Environment at the Delft University of Technology. The choosing of the topic of this thesis can be traced back to an episode of “De slag om Nederland” (VPRO 2012). This documentary showed the problematic situation of the Dutch office market. However, solutions for this problem where hardly proposed. With this thesis I will go into more detail on the origin of the current Dutch office vacancy and how adaptive reuse can serve as a possible solution. By doing so, I want to expand my knowledge on adaptive reuse and its value in a social and economic way.
