Hard Facts
After the first two talks on ministerial ambitions and power, the Ministry of Spatial Affairs wants a reality check. What should the Ministry know to create an effective new policy? An evening about hard facts with Jelte Boeijenga, Wendy Verschoor, Pieter Boot and Marco Hoppesteyn.

In 2010 the Netherlands brought an end to fifty years of centralised spatial planning. Since then, spatial planning has followed the credo 'decentralise where possible, centralise where necessary'. What are the results of this policy after six years and what new relationships has it created? Who dictates the Netherlands' spatial planning today and what drives them?
With the conviction that spatial planning concerns everyone and cannot be left solely to market players and assertive citizens, Het Nieuwe Instituut is teaming up with Elma van Boxel & Kristian Koreman (ZUS) and Stephan Petermann (OMA/AMO) to organise a series of discussions around the creation of a new Ministry for Spatial Affairs: a ministry that believes that its policy must have a basis in a vision with a broad consensus. Especially now that technological changes and social and economic issues extend far beyond our borders, a jointly formulated perspective is more urgent than ever.
The discussions concern what the new ministry needs to know and what it can do. The discussions will be conducted among a diverse group of people with different expertise and backgrounds. The first discussion was about Happiness, the second about Political Power.
