This book is about the ways in which two western European countries
attempt to cope with the changing demands of urban development. In
particular, it is con cerned with the differences in approach of
the Dutch and English planning systems and the contrasting ways in
which they are used to guide, promote and control development. The
book results from a research study in which members of staff at
Delft of Technology and Oxford Polytechnic compared local planning
and University development in the Netherlands and England. The aim
was to investigate ways in which development was promoted and
controlled under different planning systems. The research was
subsequently developed along two converging lines. One was an
examination of over twenty case studies of plan making and the con
trol of development in the cities of Leiden and Oxford. The other
was a study of the two planning systems and the ways in which the
respective approaches to planning were seen to relate closely to
the contrasting legal and administrative systems and differences in
development practice. The convergence of the two lines of enquiry
produced a tension between empirical observations and theoretical
supposition which led to a fruitful development of ideas about the
nature of the two planning systems and how they promote and control
develop ment."
On 1 May 1967 Dr. J elle Zijlstra was appointed President of De
Nederlandsche Bank, after an already eventful career. Following a
brief spell as Professor of Economics at the Free University of
Amsterdam, he began a lengthy period of ministerial service in
1952. During his cabinet years, he devised a concept which became
known in the Netherlands as the' Zijl- stra norm', and which was
aImed at keeping the Government's financial deficit in check. He
concluded his active political career .as prime minister in
1966-1967. Dr. Zijlstra's career as a politician and central banker
covered a period of nearly 30 years during which the economic scene
in the N ether- lands and in the world underwent wide cyclical ups
and downs and impor- tant changes of a more long-lasting nature.
Successful economic recovery after the Second World War was
followed by a period of rapid and rela- tively stable economic
growth. However, as early as the 1960s the condi- tions for the
maintenance of equilibrated expansion became less secure. These
conditions were further impaired in the 1970s partly as a result of
important shocks, such as the oil crises.
The impressive record of Italian philosophical research since the
end of Fascism thirty-two years ago is shown in many fields:
esthetics, social and" personal ethics, history and sociology of
philosophy, and magnificently, perhaps above all, in logic,
foundations of mathematics and the philosophY, methodology, and
intellectual history ofthe empirical sciences. To our pleasure,
Maria Luisa Dalla Chiara of the University of Florence gladly
agreed to assemble a 'sampler' of recent Italian logical and
analytical work on the philosophical foundations of mathematics and
physics, along with a number of historical studies of
epistemological and mathematical concepts. The twenty-five essays
that form this volume will, we expect, encourage English-reading
philosophers and scientists to seek further works by these authors
and by their teachers, colleagues, and students; and, we hope, to
look for those other Italian currents of thought in the philosophy
of science for which points of departure are not wholly analytic,
and which also deserve study and recognition in the world wide
philosophical community. Of course, Italy has long been related to
that world community in scien titlc matters."

This volume is intended to expand the dialogue and interest among
both practitioners and academicians in a problem area worthy of
attention by all. The concept of disaggregation admits to our
current inability to solve many types of interrelated hierarchical
problems simultaneously. It offers instead a sequential, iterative
process as a workable and necessary procedure. The papers in this
volume are selected from those presented at a Disaggregation
Conference held in March, 1977 at The Ohio State University. We
heartily applaud all those who participated in the conference and
particularly appreci ate the cooperation of those authors whose
work is published in this collection. Part A contains four papers
which define the various dimensions of disaggregation. The paper by
Martin Starr, which was the text of his luncheon address at the
conference, provides several interesting perspectives to the
problem. Although disaggregation suggests tear ing apart, as
Professor Starr illustrates with his butterfly example, it also
suggests a putting together or a synthesis which recognizes
interrelationships and dependencies. The next paper by Lee Kra
jewski and Larry Ritzman offers a general model of disaggregation
for both the manufacturing and service sectors. After reading the
papers in this section, as well as the papers in subsequent
sections, you will identify other dimensions to hierarchical
decision making which go beyond this generalized model."

Oatil the early 1970s monetary econometrics was virtually
unexplored territory in the Netherlands. The Bank's econometric
research, which I have had the privilege to direct since 1971,
sought to map this territory gradually and thus to obtain the el
ements for building a monetary model for the Netherlands. As
regards the research strategy, I opted for the performance of
studies on specific aspects. The quarterly model MORKMON presented
in this monograph may be regarded as the conclusion of this
research programme. When building the model and writing this
monograph, I made heavy and unre mitting demands on the staff of
the Econometric Research and Special Studies Department. lowe a
debt of gratitude to them all. The contributions made by four of
them - EA. G. den Butter, A. P. Huijser, P. Kramer and we.
Boeschoten - deserve special mention. Summer of 1984 M. M. G. Fase
