"The pressure on the Dutch (planning) landscape seems to be at an all-time high with a plurality of (future) \r\nspatial challenges and transitions affecting the quality of spaces; quality which citizens increasingly \r\ndesire. This development has resulted in a renewed appreciation in spatial quality within Dutch national \r\nspatial planning. A multitude of programmes have recently been introduced that feature spatial quality as \r\n(part of) their main objective. This quest for spatial quality is, however, not new as it was already on the \r\npolitical agenda during the 1980s, finding its first operationalization within policy in 1988. Since then, its \r\nconceptualization and position has developed and changed. This study aims to explore this development \r\nprocess starting with its conception in the 1980s until the year 2020. A discourse analysis paired with the \r\npolicy arrangements approach are used and adapted to investigate whether a new discourse has been able \r\nto instigate change by influencing the available resources, actor coalitions and institutions.\r\nThe findings demonstrate that discursive shifts in spatial quality follow a wave-like pattern starting with \r\nefforts to instigate spatial quality in the dominant Dutch national spatial planning discourse during the \r\n1980s, followed by a period of hegemony in the 1990s and a subsequent downfall during the late 2000s \r\nand onwards. Recent years have experienced a revival in appreciation and interest in the topic with new \r\nactors aiming to instigate a new discourse. Overall, the findings indicate that when a discursive shift place \r\ntook place, interactions with all other policy arrangement dimensions occurred, suggesting the need for \r\nresonance with all dimensions for the successful adoption of a new discourse on spatial quality in Dutch \r\nnational spatial planning. For the successful implementation of recent initiatives to install a new discourse \r\non spatial quality (and to subsequently improve its positioning) it is recommended that resonance is \r\ncreated with all other dimensions of a policy arrangement."^^ .
