| Publisher Description: In 2012 seven major Dutch urban development projects are being brought together under one roof at the 5th International Architecture Biennale Rotterdam. Design research is being carried out on seven issues and areas, in order to deepen and sharpen the approaches to these challenges at the heart of the political arena. The projects vary from the already existing Zuidas, research into 100,000 jobs for Almere and the Rhine-Meuse Delta to the 2028 Olympics. This book not only documents the results, it also traces how the subject is linked to social and political agendas. The Netherlands in Projects is the seventh installment in the series Design and Politics, an initiative of the Dutch Ministry of Infrastructure and the Environment on the relationship between planning, design and politics. |
