Models were retrieved from the same node-place model, and they seem to have a prominent place in the Dutch context of TOD. The focus of this research is on how these different models are put together and where, how, and why the coordinating governmental bodies in three well-known cases in the Netherlands use them. In a comparative research, the differences and similarities in the cases of Randstad Southwing, the province of Noord-Holland, and the former Arnhem Nijmegen City Region are unveiled. The results show that all three models are highly quantitative in their components, and to offer more realistic representations of station areas, chances lie in the qualitative research. date: 2017 type: Thesis type: NonPeerReviewed format: text language: en identifier: https://frw.studenttheses.ub.rug.nl/1814/1/Thesis_Jeroen_Bekink.pdf identifier: Bekink, J.
