OverHolland 12/13 opens with ‘The space of cartography’, an article by the Spanish architect Gabriel Carrascal on the use of cartography as a research and design instrument. Eireen Schreurs and Lieke Bijlsma examine the transformation assignment in the urban expansion projects of the 1960s, and describe their Zomerzone project for the city of Haarlem. Gerdy Verschuure provides a landscape typology analysis of seventeenth- and eighteenth-century country estates in North and South Holland.

Esther Gramsbergen discusses the transformation of Amsterdam’s Plantage district during the nineteenth century, with particular focus on King Louis Bonaparte’s plans for the area. Finally, Henk Engel and Reinout Rutte present historical and geographical investigations of the northern and southern flanks of what is now the Randstad.
