Deltametropolis Association
The association is a broad public organization which feels responsible for the sustainable development of Randstad Holland. We bring together businesses, public interest groups, research institutions and governments and provide an environment to work towards a socially supported design of the Randstad metropolitan area, focused on welfare, prosperity and strengthening its international competitiveness.
The Deltametropolis Association creates opportunities for the development of new ideas and to sharply discuss Randstad Holland outside the usual frameworks. It is a laboratory for agendizing innovative issues and a platform for boosting the debate on the future of Randstad Holland. The association thus aims to promote the discussion about the development of the region and to help ideas being applied in everyday practice.
Deltametropolis declaration
A declaration by the spatial planning aldermen of Amsterdam, Rotterdam, The Hague and Utrecht regarding future urban development in The Netherlands. The cooperation between the four aldermen, which started in 1996, resulted in a common declaration concerning the strategy to transform the Randstad to a cityregion of international size: a European Deltametropolis. The central concept in this strategy is growth. The development of the Deltametropolis is seen as a proces of growth which, from a historical viewpoint, already started centuries ago. During the second half of the 20th century an acceleration occurs and the birth of the European Union provides yet another stimulus. The essence of the 1998 declaration is summarized in article 2 of the regulations of the Deltametropolis Association, dated February 1998 (ISBN 90-76630-03-8).
