title: The Influence of Entrepreneurs on Brownfield Revitalization
ispublished: unpub
full_text_status: public
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.
