INFRA ECOLOGY
NETHERLANDSAccording to the statistics of the Central Bureau for Statistics (1988) infrastructure occupies 3% of the total surface area of the Netherlands. The regulations pertaining to the protection of the environment however, increase this area by a factor of ten to 30%, the spatial impact is therefor much greater than at first imagined. Because this 30% is subject to strict regulation, this area can only be utilized by a select number of programs. It would be interesting to imagine what kind of developments and programs would be possible if the different products of infrastructure did not function as a hindrance.
