Everything can be designed
Everything in the Netherlands is engineered. Designing the city as well as the landscape is peculiar to the Dutch notion of makeability, which has its origins in the heroic struggle against water. Dutch urban planning is also permeated by the conviction that you can mould a good society with the right urban development plan. In the 20th century this resulted in a succession of plans on an ever-greater scale, culminating in the post-war expansion districts. Since then, public consultation and market forces have altered the character of the makeability concept. It has been replaced by flexible plans and new relations between city and countryside. Has anyone retained an overview? Perhaps Dutch makeability is ready for a new form of organisation?
