Abstract

Discussion of the development of the Dutch welfare state and its spatial planning by way of close-reading the work of Jaap Bakema and his office Van den Broek and Bakema, in relation to the shift from socialism inspired planning ideas and the mixed economy of the Western European and Dutch welfare state, to the early beginnings of neo-liberalism. Based on a contribution to the seminar on welfare planning at the Sorbonne University
