Abstract

Last Spring in the Netherlands, the development of long term national spatial and transport policy came to a sudden standstill after the government was brought down. The development of the National Traffic and Transport Plan and the Fifth Report on Spatial Planning had already taken much more time than initially planned. This paper is a survey of the evolution of urban planning and transport planning in both reports and their impacts on the environment. A consistent and stable maturation seems not to be the case. The main point is the rise and fall of utilization in favour of extension in both spatial and infrastructure planning. The concepts presented were initially mostly concerned with preservation. Recently bottlenecks seem to have been identified but this subsequently needs to be implemented. For the covering abstract see ITRD E120462.
