The study of several great urbanareas (Lille Metropolitan area, coal-mining areas in Northern France and Belgium) shows that, even if economic and demographic growths are low or null, the conversion of the old urban and industrialized areas
involves at first an important consumption of new lands, mainly agricultural ones. The land consumption for dwelling, for industrial areas, for urban equipments is still large at the outskirts of towns, speeder than the re-use of built ground and industrial
waste lands. This re-use is slow and difficult in spite of endeavours to renewal. The unequal repartition between urban recovering and suburbanization involves an important redistribution of men and of the activities inside the urbanizedareas.

The study ries, from a social geographic point of view, to see the process of urbanization as part of the spatial development processes of human settlements, to explain it theoretically, and to show its regional differences empirically
. As a starting point, the attempt is made to define the geographic term town (urban settlement) in a new, social geographic way, namely as a human settlement, where the typical characteristics and development trends of the industrial society show themselves
in a relatively strong and distinct way and gain spatial relance. The totality of characteristics and ways of behaviour typical for urban settlements is called urbanity, their spreading in the sense of a diffusion process from this innovation centre
is urbanization. This diffusion process of urban ways of behaviour takes place in fields of different intensity, where we can find more or less urbanized settlements in a rural-urban continuum. The empiric studies proved the supposition that the urbanization
process does not take the same course in all settlements, but is composed of process components developing themselves with different degrees of intensity. In order to get types of urbanization, all possible combinations of eight components with three

Stedelijk beleid en de ruimtelijke organisatie van stadsgewesten| het geval Amsterdam. (Urban government and urban planning in metropolitan regions| the case of Amsterdam)
During the last decades big cities have grown together with their respective hinterlands to one metropolitan daily system. Im most of the other industrial urbanized countries this development has been coupled with emergence of new administrative
unities but in the Dutch metropolitan areas we still find a political administrative structure without frame of integration on the level of the daily systems. This exceptional situation has been the starting point for this article. The authors tried
