Pressure on the landscape
The current urbanisation and urgent tasks such as climate adaptation, health and energy transition offer an opportunity to strengthen the spatial cohesion, the business climate and the quality of life of the Zuid-Holland metropolitan region. around and between cities is increasing. The task calls for an upscaling of our approach to the urban landscape.

The South Wing Landscape Park
The typical South Holland water structures form a strong basis for a green-blue network metropolis: landscapes around, between and within the cities are well connected, easily accessible and of metropolitan quality. In this way, the urban landscape can develop into a metropolitan landscape park: Landscape Park South Wing. The South Wing Landscape Park consists of the following layers:

  • Green-blue structures: lines of development.
  • Interior landscapes: landscapes between the cities.
  • Foreign landscapes: Coast, Delta and Veenweiden.
  • Urbanized area: Urban green and transformation areas.

The Urban Landscape vision provides a framework for defining ‘regional projects’.

Regional projects
The vision provides a framework for defining ‘regional projects’. Regional projects include a number of related tasks along a development line, so that projects, assignments and initiatives can be linked and the scaling can be put into practice. Within the “South Wing Landscape Park” we distinguish six regional projects that differ in dynamics, complexity, identity and approach. The identity of each individual line can be strengthened based on cultural history, use and approach to new challenges. Each regional project has its own development process, but for each area there are a number of starting points that serve as a guideline for further development.
