“…Bij het op brede wijze of "integraal" benaderen van complexe beleidsvraagstukken -zeker in het ruimtelijk domein -wordt veelvuldig gepleit voor een "ontwerpende aanpak" (De Jonge, 2009;Kempenaar, 2017;Van Buuren et al, in prep.). De functionaliteit van het ruimtelijk ontwerp als methode -in de praktijk en in het onderzoek in het ruimtelijk domein -ligt besloten in de lerende, cyclische benadering, in combinatie met het verbeelden van die opgaven en oplossingsrichtingen (zie ook Van den Brink et al, 2017).…”

“…The literature shows that regional design is particularly intertwined with what Davoudi et al (2018) call 'spatial imaginaries' (see also Van Duinen 2004). Indeed, the relevance of regional design solutions is frequently explained by references to dimensions of collective spatial concepts or 'geographic ideas', for example: the knowledge of spatial development that they imply (Klaasen 2003), the imagery that represents them (De Zwart 2015;Neuman 1996), the concepts, doctrines and discourses that rationalise them (Van Dijk 2011), the planning and governance routines that put them into practice (Balz and Zonneveld 2015;Kempenaar 2017), and the power structures that sustain them (De Jonge 2009). Regional design practices are concerned with highly diverse situations in regions and often refer to multiple dimensions of the spatial imaginaries that underlie the spatial planning frameworks in place.…”

“…The ambiguity of these geographies determines if proposed design solutions are either likely to (1) be deduced from premeditated ideas about the built environment, or (2) uncover new aspects, and thus confront the existing ideas. Scholarly literature indicates that regional design is often a collaborative effort involving experts, planners, politicians and designers (De Jonge 2009;Kempenaar 2017;Van Dijk 2011). These distinctions imply that collaboration differs in the light of given choices or degrees of freedom: it may entail pragmatism, where actors commonly work to operationalise a shared spatial imaginary, or it may be a form of advocacy where they pursue different ideas about the imaginaries that constitute the existing 'spatial planning world' and are thus divided by controversy and conflict.…”

This chapter discusses the organisational setting of regional design in the realms of spatial planning and territorial governance. As a starting point, it argues that rules on how imagined design solutions function in an abstract, simplified 'planning world' are an important regional design product. When focusing on these rules, regional design practice resembles discretionary action. As such, it aims to improve planning decisions by judging the implications of planning frameworks when applied to particular situations. This implies that the involvement of actors in design practice requires careful consideration. As in any form of legitimate rule-building, a critical distance between those who initiate practices and conduct design, and those who judge the quality and relevance of design outcomes is essential. On the basis of these considerations, the chapter investigates regional design practices that occurred between the 1980s and the 2010s in the context of Dutch national planning. It shows how they transformed from being a form of professional advocacy, criticising planning, into a practice that was pragmatically used to implement a national planning agenda. The chapter concludes by discussing this institutionalisation of a creative practice in the Netherlands, reflecting upon the implications of these outcomes for territorial governance in particular.

“…In the academic domain, attention to these matters have increased. Since the 2000s, planning and design scholars have published a range of dedicated studies, mostly drawing on the Dutch experience (De Jonge, 2009, De Zwart, 2015, Kempenaar, 20 De Jonge, 2009, De Zwart, 2015, Kempenaar, 2017, Klaasen, 2003, Neuman, 2000, Van Dijk, 2011. In addition, a range of other studies have had a latent concern about Dutch regional-design practice, through incorporating an elaboration of cases for the purpose of an enhanced understanding of, for instance, the use of spatial visualisation, scenarios and planning concepts in planning (Carton, 2007, Salewski, 2012, Van Duinen, 2004.…”

This dissertation would not have been possible without the support of the many people who were involved in it in direct or indirect ways.First and foremost I want to thank my two promotors. Wil Zonneveld, my main promotor, has accompanied my work consistently, patiently, and with much empathy. Without his curiosity for my practical experience, his extensive knowledge about the key concepts and context that my work is engaged with, his openness towards my evolving positions, and his enduring trust in my abilities to substantiate these, this thesis would not have been possible. Vincent Nadin, co-promotor, has inspired many of the decisive decisions I took during the dissertation, thanks to his concise and critical comments.I thank journal editors who helped this research by their reviews of the articles that form part of it. As this research evolved as an exploratory case-study analysis involving theory formation, their constructive and critical comments have played an particularly important part. I thank conference organisers, specifically the ones who have helped organize the Round Table at the AESOP conference 2014: Emerging regional design in an era of co-governance and co-evolution. I thank my fellow researchers who discussed and commented on my work during the course of the dissertation. My specific gratitude goes to Agnes Förster and Valeria Lingua. During our preparation of the conferences 'Shaping Regional Futures: Mapping, Designing, Transforming!' and 'Shaping Regional Futures: Designing and Visioning in Governance Rescaling' we had long and fruitful discussions on regional design. Together with Alain Thierstein and Giuseppe de Luca they hosted the conferences in Munich in October 2015 and Florence in May 2017. Both conferences were unique and, for me, very important opportunities for exchange. I also thank Andreas Faludi who has helped me structure my thoughts at critical stages of this research, and who has inspired me.I thank colleagues at TU Delft, with whom I could share experiences. I feel specific gratitude for Maurits de Hoog, who was my supervisor when I started at the Department of Urbanism. He provided me with intellectual freedom at the start of my dissertation. Without his generosity, this research would have taken another path, away from my own interests. I also thank Remon Rooij, who has supported me during the last stage of the work, as voluntary daily supervisor. TOC I want to thank my friends: Ellis ten Dam, for her extensive strategic advice on how to proceed during the ups and downs of this dissertation and her optimism about it; Dena Kasraian, for her always realistic estimation of where I was standing; Jelte Boeijenga, for reflecting with me on where this all could lead, Jorge Gil for his practical advice, and Leo van den Burg for being there. I thank my family. I thank Clemens and Lissy for hosting me during the most productive periods of this dissertation. I thank my sisters: Sabine, who encouraged me to be practical, and Bettina, who encouraged me to be ambitious. I thank my daug...
