Title: Metropolitan Regional Planning in Amsterdam
Description: This paper reviews the planning of the Amsterdam metropolitan region up to the mid-1990s as an example of 'successful' planning at this scale. It considers the formal structures for planning, the key planning concepts and 'doctrine', and the mechanisms for consultation and co-ordination, including formal agreements. It argues that the success of the Amsterdam approach arises primarily from the culture and practice of consultation between levels of government, and with a wide range of interests and the general public.
