Development of the ‘network city’ (1)
Increasing functional interaction and relations in the urban region of the South Wing – for example:
•Housing;
•Employment opportunities;
•Culture and recreation.
> Different functions, different scales
Severe consequences for transport by car & train and other modes of public transport
> Rethinking the organization of mobility and spatial planning
Development of the ‘network city’ (2)
From cities to agglomerations to urban regions
the South Wing region (or city….)
Development of a ‘network city’ (3)
However:
- no territorial coherency;
- no common identity;
- no public acceptance;
- and certainly no regional authority
Creates a ‘gap’ between identified spatial and mobility problems and existing territorial organized political structures
Government & governance (2) Current spatial planning system• Hierarchical organization, horizontal;• Three (or four) government levels; - National, provincial, (regional), local plans• Highly centralised tax-system (>90% national);• Sectoral financial organization; - Strong position State and dependance decentral
authorities in financing infrastructural projects• Strong local autonomy in urban development and
land use plans; - in cooperation with private parties and housing
corporations> proces of decentralisation
Government & governance (2)
• Semi-formal structures within the formal administrative context;
• Institutional & functional bodies and organizations.
Government & governance (3)
Public governance in the South Wing
• Platform South Wing;
• Cooperation between the province of South Holland;
• Five regions;
• and the big(ger) cities
The platform has no formal or legal status
Originally instigated as a platform for lobbying for funds for ‘collective’ goals and projects at national level

- local public transport;
- private transport
Programme Stedenbaan
Programme Stedenbaan
Surplus value Stedenbaan as transport concept
• South Wing:- improvement internal coherency
- enlargement support higher level public transport
• Urban area’s related to Stedenbaan:- connected with South Wing metro- connecting car - bike - public transport- modernization stations / new stations
- enlargement support lower level public transport
Programme Stedenbaan
Backbone for urbanisation
• Development of urban area’s;
• Improvement spatial quality of urban area’s;
• Creating spatial diversity and cohesion.
Programme Stedenbaan
Surplus value Stedenbaan for urbanisation
• South Wing- development of new regional centers- accommodation variaty of urban programs
• Urban area’s related to Stedenbaan:- development of new local centers - upgrading existing urban area’s
‘Study on profiles’ – Urban Unlimited
Differentiation in urban development programmes
Programme Stedenbaan
‘Governance of the programme’
• Public-public regional cooperation – integrating system:
cie. Bandell - transport authority ‘ avant la lettre’
• Public-(private thinktank) atelier South Wing
Study on opportunities and development spatial vision
• Project plan at local level in cooperation with private parties:
Pilots Stedenbaan (good practices)
• Public-private cooperation with Dutch Rail
Programme Stedenbaan
Integrating sustainable mobility and urban development
• Efficient use of existing infrastructure and optimizing connections with national and local transport;
• Efficient land use; reconstructing and redevelopment of existing build-up area’s and brownfields;

Programme Stedenbaan is a long term programme and vision (2030) with different projects (short term strategies) and also short term successes
