This ex ante territorial impact assessment of territorial cohesion policy was carried out after a request from the Dutch Ministry of Housing, Planning and the Environment (VROM). The purpose was to provide an early indication of the most important possible interpretations of territorial cohesion and to estimate the territorial effects each interpretation could have for the Netherlands.

The report looks at territorial cohesion in the Netherlands from several different angles, including:

  • Socio-economic convergence;
  • Economic competitiveness;
  • Rural potential;
  • Spatial planning;
  • Policy coordination.
