We look beyond individual projects and municipal boundaries to understand how functions can be concentrated and combined, shaping regions as integrated systems. We see the landscape as a shared spatial resource through which cities, infrastructure and ecological systems are interconnected. This perspective enables strategic choices about where growth can occur, which qualities must be protected, and how competing ambitions can work together. Through the research project ‘Kennisregio aan Zee 2070’, we developed a long-term spatial framework for South Holland that guides its future growth, while building on the strengths of the landscape and safeguarding environmental, economic and social value.
