Urban quality is generally considered increasingly important for urban competitiveness. Nevertheless, large urban redevelopment schemes often fail to provide sufficient quality from a user's perspective. This study therefore investigates the role of urban quality in large-scale urban redevelopment, which is here elaborated in terms of Richard Florida s concept of quality of place. In a number of extensive case studies, it focuses on prestigious redevelopment projects around the high-speed rail stations in Amsterdam, Rotterdam and Lille. It provides an analysis of the role of urban quality in the development of these projects, as well as some insights in the applicability of quality of place in a wider Dutch context. In addition, the study advocates a more open and flexible planning process, based on a distinctly long-term perspective on urban quality.IOS Press is an international science, technical and medical publisher of high-quality books for academics, scientists, and professionals in all fields.

城市质量被普遍认为对城市竞争力越来越重要。然而，从用户的角度来看，大型城市重建计划往往不能提供足够的质量。因此，本研究调查了城市质量在大规模城市再开发中的作用，在此以理查德的地方质量概念对其进行阐述。在一些广泛的案例研究中，它侧重于阿姆斯特丹、鹿特丹和里尔的高速铁路站周围的著名重建项目。它对城市质量在这些项目发展中的作用进行了分析，并对地方质量在更广泛的荷兰背景下的适用性提出了一些见解。此外，该研究倡导一个更加开放和灵活的规划过程，基于对城市质量的明显的长期观点。 IOS出版社是一家国际科学、技术和医学出版社，为所有领域的学者、科学家和专业人士提供高质量的书籍。我们出版的一些领域。-生物医学 -肿瘤学 -人工智能 -数据库和信息系统 -海洋工程 -纳米技术 -地球工程 -物理学的各个方面 -电子政务 -电子商务 -知识经济 -城市研究 -武器控制 -了解和应对恐怖主义 -医疗信息学 -计算机科学
