Le système de planification néerlandais s'est développé en un système de planification ouvert. Outre les efforts de planification publics, il y a d'autres circonstances qui ont influencé les développements spatiaux néerlandais. Cette constatation ressort également de l'adaptation continuelle du calendrier de la politique de l'aménagement du territoire aux Pays-Bas, telle qu'elle se présente lors de la brève discussion du contenu des rapports nationaux relatifs à la politique du logement. En ce qui concerne les régions métropolitaines, une organisation politique dynamique semble importante, afin d'y résoudre les problèmes actuels et de réaliser de nouveaux développements. Ces objectifs nécessitent une rénovation administrative considérable.
The specific formula of Dutch Planning has evoluated during the past decades from a closed comprehensive system toward a more open way of planning. Although the overall effect of the planning is -more often than not -judged positively (and therewith the planning system), its reputation has become somewhat mystified. One could wonder whether the positive results were due tot pu¬ blic efforts in planning or are ohter cimcumstances more important for the present condition of Dutch metropolitan areas ? These questions will be tackled in this article. The core argument leads to the conception that public policy is only one source of influence and that other arrangements or developments are much more important. Also, public policies change with the political agenda on which priorities continuously change. Looking at future developments within the Dutch institutional arrangements the most urging question remains whether or not metropolitan areas will be adequately positioned to tackle the specific ussues in each different areas. Not only to solve existing porblems, this institutional condi¬ tion will prove important, but especially when it come to creating innovation and creating new ideas for metropolitan development.
