Objective

In-between space? is working towards a New Deal for the green space in the South Wing of the Randstad.

In-between space? aims at a new perception of the landscape and a new way of interacting with it. The first step is to explore the logic of these landscape areas: their ecological, economic, social, spatial, and cultural aspects. In-between space? would also like to promote a shared understanding that the landscape is a strategic treasure and the common property of all parties in the South Wing region. The entire rural land area, from large-scale agricultural areas to peripheral patches of ground, can play a valuable part in the sustainability of the South Wing. This area requires a comprehensive vision and an accompanying strategy. The focus is therefore shifting from individual locations to a coherent whole, and from a sectoral approach to synergy. The result is a New Deal making the rural area a tenable part of the South Wing City and ensuring spatial quality for the future. Eventually, the term ‘in-between space' will no longer be used, with rural areas becoming an established and complementary part of the South Wing as a network city.

We invite all affected and interested parties to join the discussion and work with us.
