The Vlietzone is a large natural area at the edge of The Hague (South-Holland, The Netherlands). Surrounded by the highway A4 and A12 and the river Vliet it forms a secluded area. The municipality has selected this location for future expansion. It is the only large area availably within current city boundaries where expansion is allowed according to the ‘fifth spatial planning memorandum’ (vijfde nota ruimtelijke ordening). The goal of the project is to design a key intervention to gradually start development of the Vlietzone after 2020. The location of the Vlietzone makes a design based on transit oriented development (TOD) feasible and an interesting case to create a regional node for the Region Haaglanden. This graduation project focuses on the idea of TOD in Dutch spatial planning. Providing a design guided by 3 possible scenarios focused on the demand form different governmental institutions and regional and local opportunities. Choosing the most likely design location within the Vlietzone, develop this into a key intervention for further development after 2020 and create a node for the region based on TOD principles.
