Abstract
Brownfield revitalization has become an increasingly popular tool to tackle urban expansion over Europe. These areas generally characterise themselves by innovative enterprises in combination with industrial aesthetics. The Netherlands also knows an increase in area-based spatial planning, in which interests of different stakeholders are getting significant attention during the planning process. Whilst factors with regard to the location decisions of entrepreneurs have been treated in the field of economic geography, little research has been done on the role of entrepreneurs in an area-based approach of spatial planning. This paper analyses the interests of entrepreneurs with regard to their location, while exploring the influence they have on the planning process in their area. Since area-based planning is highly dependent on the context, a case study is done comparing two brownfield revitalization areas in Amersfoort: De Nieuwe Stad and the Wagenwerkplaats. The results found that the interests of the entrepreneurs are indeed implemented in the spatial design, but their actual influence has proven to be hard to determine due to a complex set of stakeholders.
