During the amalgamation period, important changes occurred in landuse planning primarily under the impetus of regional formation. The position of the municipalities has not been strengthened. In the historical monument policy, the gap between the national and the municipal level is particularly large. This is also the case for housing policy, but the gap is generally not felt to be encumbering by the municipal authorities. After the amalgamation and the «politisation» of the municipal council parties, most of the municipal administrators have, in a very pragmatic way, received a direct line to the national land-use planning via party clientism. This appears to be much more efficient than the formal procedures of the urban construction law, the historica monument law, and other provisions. However, this does have the consequence that the people of the amalgamated municipalities feel little involvement in the land-usepolicy. Some municipalities have tried to break through on this by the launching of a structure plan.The political orientations of the designers and other land-use planning experts and the sometimes anti-political attitude of large groups of the population are not alien to the aforementioned pragmatism. All this, however, complicates the impact on land-use organisation by the local communities, which are still administratively powerful after the amalgamation.

Economy - Er moet een algemene beleidsnota komen die aangeeft welke ontwikkeling van de economische structuur van ons land de regering wenselijk acht. Meer dan één ministerie dient bij de formulering van het beleid te worden betrokken, naast Economische Zaken met name Volkshuisvesting en Ruimtelijke Ordening, Volksgezondheid en Milieu, Buitenlandse Zaken, Ontwikkelingssamenwerking, Onderwijs en Wetenschappen, Sociale Zaken, Cultuur, Recreatie en Maatschappelijk Werk. Overwogen kan worden om gebruik te maken van de bestaande Centrale Economische Commissie (CEC).
