 Gemeente Zaanstad - English
With its population of 136.000 Zaanstad is the fifteenth largest city in The Netherlands.
Zaanstad has many new housing areas, often of high quality in terms of architecture, variety and their spacious lay-out.
In this way Zaanstad is certainly doing justice to its slogan (that not only refers to its geographical position in the north of the Dutch central urban conglomeration): ‘Zaanstad, Top of the Randstad’.

Although the central location is a considerable advantage because of its nearness for travellers, the divisive effect of the infrastructure has the disadvantage of blocking spatial and social development.
In Zaanstad the central area on the east side of the extensive residential areas is separated on the west side by railways and two through roads.
Zaanstad refuses to accept this situation as a kind of natural phenomenon.

This is demonstrated in a recent project for Zaanstad on the outskirts of Amsterdam where configurational analysis was central to development of a long-term strategy for urban growth in the area.
Following a brief description of the space syntax method, the existing spatial configuration of Zaanstad is described and how, by using the computer modelling capabilities of space syntax, a number of steps can be taken to outline a strategy for incremental urban growth in the area to develop a long-term 'Vision for Zaanstad'.
A spatial model of Zaanstad was constructed and processed by computer and then used as the basis for testing design schemes incorporating new strategic connections across the system.

 S333 - projects
Given the task of exploring urban strategies and development opportunities for the city of Zaandam, a series of workshop events were initiated and followed through, in association with the municipality of Zaanstad.
The task was two fold: to analyse the problems of the train station area as an obstacle to urban development, and secondly, to implement a strategic urban framework that would allow for present and future development to occur to the east and west of the station.
A 1:25,000 coordination model, a kind of 'interactive puzzle' made up of interchangeable parts, was created to visualise the many possibilities and potentials for urban development, walking the viewer through a series of "what if" urban scenarios leading eventually to an overall vision for the area.
