La nature en privilège : de l’effet des populations citadines aisées sur les paysages et la flore du Cœur vert de la Randstad Holland by Fabien Roussel

“…The question must be considered not only from a quantitative point of view, but also in the qualitative dimension of biodiversity.The vast agricultural area in the heart of Randstad Holland in the Netherlands – a conurbation of nearly 7 million inhabitants in 2018 –, referred to in Dutch legislation as the Green Heart, is an archetypal example of multifunctional management of peri-urban vegetated areas that combines agricultural, recreational and ecological issues. Initially very centralizing and regulatory, the policy in favor of nature in the Netherlands has experienced since 2010 a dynamic of disengagement of the central state, in favor of actions at regional and local levels that risk increasing the logic of landscape self-interest. …”
