Randstad Holland is the urbanized western part of the  Netherlands. It contains the four largest cities of the country:  Amsterdam, Rotterdam, The Hague and Utrecht. The name Randstad (rim  city) refers to the distinctive shape of the conurbation, a horseshoe  of cities around an open agricultural and recreational area, known as  the Green Heart.  This book analyzes the restructuring of the region. The volume  summarizes the research of the Urban Networks research program. The  discussion is focused on four themes: housing, labor market and  employment, infrastructure and transportation, and the provision of  public services. The Randstad is internationally known as the  playground of urban and regional planners. Their debates on present  policy issues are extensively reviewed in the book.  Teachers and students of urban change and planning, and policy makers  and planners in The Netherlands and abroad will find much valuable  information in this book.
