Rural development: A minor problem in the Netherlands?
指出荷兰城乡差异已因区域政策而缩小，当前主要问题是如何满足城市居民对户外休闲、自然保护和景观的需求，并回顾了近年物理规划和农村重建的政策与工具。
In the Netherlands there are no large areas with typical rural charactersitics. Existing differences in culture and economic performance between more and less urbanized regions have gradually been reduced by economic development that was stimulated by regional policy. The main problem now is how the non-urban areas can fulfill the growing needs of urban residents and others concerning outdoor recreation, nature conservation, and landscape. The development of policies and instruments of physical planning and rural reconstruction in recent years is closely linked with the above problems. Copyright 1986 by Oxford University Press.
