Urban nodes working together?What unites them?
The Technical Networks Basic Infrastructure
In order to compete with other similar European city regions
✤ The internal coherence of the Randstad has to be reinforced,
✤ New and better spatial infrastructures have to be created or improved
✤ The Randstad needs to be known and identified as metropolis
✤ Or we can change the name of the region to Amsterdam

APS HUBS IN AMSTERDAM = DIFFERENTIATED CORPORATE CENTRALITIES/ DIFFERENT FUNCTIONS
Amsterdam Municipality Institutional Ad The Economist 2004
A Metropolis in the making• The commuting patterns between the
various nodes in the network should be reinforced by improving the connections between them.
• The ring is the structuring element.• The station areas are ideal places to
promote new kinds of urban centrality.
