| Title: |
Ex-post evaluation of thirty years of compact urban development in the Netherlands |
| Description: |
The authors see the impacts of compact urban development as lacking, first, insights into how a region or country would have appeared under policy regimes other than those realised and, secondly, a broad evaluation of relevant land use, transport, accessibility and related societal and ecological impacts. This report examines an initial attempt to establish a methodology and evaluation framework for analysing the effectiveness of Dutch compact urbanisation policies implemented between 1970 and 2000. It concludes that without compact urban development policies, urban sprawl in the Netherlands is likely to have been greater, car use higher at the cost of alternative modes, as would emission and noise levels in residential and natural environments, and there would have been an increase in the fragmentation of wildlife habitats |
