Een buitenplaats wordt gedefinieerd als een compositie van een aanzienlijk woonhuis met ontworpen tuin, tuinsieraden en bijgebouwen.^ Buitenplaatsen lagen meestal niet zellstandig in het landschap, maar werden in concentraties aan-gelegd, zoals we op zeventiende-en achttiende-eeuwse Hoogheemraadschapskaarten kunnen zien.

On a local level, innovative urban design/re-design strategies may help improve connections between separated functions, involve local stakeholders, and upgrade the identity of places at the fringe.Ī pleasing view Landscape and composition in the design of Holland's country estates Gerdy Verschuure In de zeventiende eeuw ontstond onder de bemid-delde burgers van de Republiek een nieuwe mode: het bezit en onderhoud van een buiten-plaats. On a regional level, there is a need for urbanisation strategies that transcend municipal boundaries. On a national level, an important question is how increasing dispersed urbanisation may affect the economic performance of cities and the efficient use of existing infrastructure. However, in some regions traditionally unwanted urban development patterns can be discerned. Urban compaction policy has prevented urban sprawl in the Netherlands. Based on quantitative and qualitative spatial research, this article analyses recent urban developments and urbanisation patterns along the rural-urban fringe in the Netherlands, and identifies challenges for planning and design at national, regional and local levels. In certain regions, urbanisation is rather compact and concentric, whereas others show dispersed and polycentric morphological patterns. Urban expansions at the rural-urban fringe have formed complex hybrid landscapes consisting of residential areas, commercial zones, agricultural land, recreational and nature areas. In recent decades, most rural-urban fringes in the Netherlands have seen substantial urbanisation. It asks for preservation and re-use of estates in a larger scale. This paper compares the New Dutch Waterline to the estate landscape and explore if this could benefit from the protection of estates and areas around cities that are in the process of strong urbanisation. In the seventeenth century, rich merchants constructed estates and country houses in the wealthy and strongly urbanised province of Holland, consisting of a luxurious house with design garden in the vicinity of the city and other estates, creating estate landscapes (Verschuure, 2013). Can this approach be of use for other spatial challenges which are related to areas of high historic impact, heritage landscapes? This contribution explores both the spatial characteristics of the New Dutch Waterline as well as the process of this national project and to compare it to other another heritage landscape, like the many estate landscapes in a project Arcadian Landscapes. The basic idea was the use of the cultural history of this area as the backbone for current large scale challenges (Luiten e.a., 2002). Spatial planning, public participation and legal protection of single objects -fortresses and so on-, defined areas of interest and the large scale impact was addressed. In the 1990s the process of revitalisation started as a national project.

From 1815 until 1940 the New Dutch Waterline was one of the major defence lines, both a system of waterworks for inundating, as well as series of forts, casemates and other military defence objects. Fifteen years have passed since the start of the national project New Dutch Waterline, presented as an illustrative example of a renewed approach of which spatial design was cross linked to heritage, for it described in the Nota Belvedere (Feddes, 1999).
