%T Policies against urban sprawl in the changing Dutch planning context. Groningen case: from a monocentric compact city policy towards a new urbanisation path between intensification and expansion
%X This master thesis situates itself in the wider urban sprawl debate that has recently received an increased attention from the European Union, and also in the ongoing debate concerning the changing Dutch planning context. This research focuses on the city of Groningen to: discuss the notion of ‘compact city’; analyse why Groningen has chosen to follow a new urbanisation strategy based on intensification/revitalisation on the one hand, and on diversification/extension on the other hand; and examine the local impacts of the changing planning contexts.
