Planning doctrine and post-industrial urban development: the Amsterdam experience

Urban systems and the diversity of urban development

Auteur :
CORTIE, C.

Description :
The planners of the Amsterdam General Extension Plan (1935) developed a doctrine that covers three levels of functions and activities (a regional centre, a monocentric urban form, homogeneous neighbourhood communities around a centre). Since the early 1970s Amsterdam has become an international centre, has developed into a polycentric urban region and has been acquiring ethnically mixed quarters. So in Amsterdam the planning doctrine was not particularly successful.
