Abstract

It is very difficult to discuss the issue of spatial justice within the context of a country that enjoys so much of it. The Netherlands is probably one of the places in the world where the overarching objectives of spatial planning and design have been most fully attained: healthy, fairly sustainable and mostly prosperous cities with few signs of spatial segregation are trademarks of the polder model (see Helman, 2013). Citizens in the Netherlands can enjoy an enormous range of public goods, such as excellent mobility and access to jobs and services, healthy green spaces and safety.
