title: Organic Area Development and the Facilitative Capacity of Dutch  Municipal Organizations
creator: Ingmar Fabian Hoen
description: The goal of this thesis is to find out what organisational conditions are required for municipalities in The Netherlands in order to facilitate organic area development in cities. By perceiving the city as a complex adaptive system, four organisational conditions for the  municipal facilitation of organic area development are identified: leadership, processorientation,  transparency, learning capacity. These conditions are conceptualised in the Facilitative Capacity Wheel based on the Adaptive Capacity Wheel developed by Gupta et al.  (2010). The wheel is used within a multiple case study in order to assess the facilitative capacity of three municipal organisations: Groningen (Ebbingekwartier), Amsterdam (Cruquiusgebied), and Assen (Havenkwartier). The study shows that enabling rules, external-orientation, and  experimentation have the highest positive effect on municipal facilitation of organic area development.
