The Netherlands is one of the most prominent and innovative
countries in the field of environmental planning. Over the past
decade, its government has introduced such ground-breaking schemes
as Integrated Environmental Zoning, the City-Environment Project,
the Bubble Concept and Policy Concepts and new approaches to coping
with noise, odours, soil pollution, air pollution and safety
issues. These initiatives and policy tools reflect a rapidly
changing and decentralising environmental policy, which contrasts
with more conventional environmental ideologies. However, at
present little is known of these policies in the international
arena. De Roo shows how and why, in recent years, the country's
planning system has moved away from its traditional 'top-down'
structure. The resulting changes have had far-reaching consequences
for the traditional principles of Dutch environmental policy. In
addition, measures for compensating excessive environmental loads
are now open to discussion and environmental quality is a subject
of negotiation among stakeholders. All these developments mean that
environmental policy-making has become more closely integrated with
local initiatives that focus on general location-specific
qualities. In this book, this development is referred to as
'tailor-made comprehensive planning', which relates closely to the
local context, is area-specific, situation-dependent, and embraces
shared governance.
