Wednesday - Book launch: the metropolitan polder

The polder metropool is the Randstad, the agglomeration in the north west of the country including the main Dutch cities which, given the chronic lack of space in this part of the country, will one day become one large urban and semi-urban entity: a metropolis.

The author Pieter Maessen, a journalist and adviser to the municipality of Rotterdam, will present (in Dutch) his book at the Paagman on the Fred this evening at 19.00. For the uninitiated, the Fred is how people from The Hague call the street Frederik Hendriklaan.

Entry is free but reservation is advised.
