    Summary note
    The form of the famous Dutch landscape is no accidental or random phenomenon. It is the result of a transformational process. Knowledge and understanding of the basic forms are instrumental in the design of the new landscape and presented in this unique publication on the Dutch Lowlands. The Dutch delta is a reclamation landscape. It has undergone several transformations since the Middle Ages to become an inhabitable, beautiful and unique cultural landscape. Many factors that determine the spatial quality of the future urban landscape are directly connected with the formal properties of the polder landscape of the Dutch lowlands.
    Notes
    Landscape complexes of the Dutch lowlands is part of the research program of the department Landscape architecture of the faculty of architecture at the Delft University of Technology.
