Vinex, an Atlas of Recent Dutch Suburban Planning. Engels hardcover 320 pp. Nederlandse editie ook verkrijgbaar: Vinex Atlas ISBN 9789064505942

Vinex, an Atlas of Recent Dutch Suburban Planning is a complete documentary overview of the built results of the housing programme drawn up in the government's Fourth Report (Extra) on Physical Planning in the Netherlands. Besides taking stock of all Vinex districts, it zooms in on about fifty which are exhaustively documented and described, and provided with, among other things, an aerial photograph and an easy-to-read plan. The Vinex Atlas also includes a complete tabular overview of all 120 or so districts and area plans. Area plans are described in index numbers so that they can be compared. This allows us to establish where and in what way the entire output has been realized. An introductory essay describes the background and development of the Vinex project in both policy and practice. The Vinex Atlas gives a complete overview of the Vinex housing output, not just by addressing the districts that have been covered by the professional and national press in recent years, but also by acknowledging the range and diversity within this gigantic programme of more than 600,000 housing units. «
