Second publication in a series examining the dynamic interplay between spatial design and politics. Here, the focus was on the future vision for the Dutch region of the Randstad and which alternative scenarios could enable it to continue functioning as one of Europes top economic and cultural regions. Planners, architects and landscape architects participated in a series of workshops, sketching, designing and discussing the possibilities which led in turn to three exciting perspectives for the regions future in 2040. These are explored here through a rich exploration and description of the design process that is accompanied by sketches, plans, illustrations and photographs.
