The ImplementationAgenda andInstrumentsby Conny Lauwers c.lauwers@dro.amsterdam.nlHandles for realizingambitionsThe Structural Vision is not a book of pipedreams, but articulates the ambitionsof <strong>Amsterdam</strong> City Council, which seesopportunities for the city to grow andbecome stronger even in less prosperoustimes. Ambitions can, however, only befulfilled if they result in concrete plans, inthe awareness that it is impossible to doeverything everywhere all at once.It is necessary to phase, to organize and wherenecessary to adjust or rein in. These componentsof the Structural Vision are included in the implementationagenda for the coming decade and in the setof instruments.The implementation agendaThe implementation agenda sets out the urbancohesion of projects and the feasibility of ambitions.It is used as a basis to strike agreements with regardto the phasing and scale of projects. It makes adistinction between plans that can be realized overthe coming decade and those plans that only comeinto play thereafter. In the latter case it also concernsplans with a relatively long preparation time, as isoften the case with major infrastructure projects or therelocation of industrial activity. For the realization of allthese ambitions, the city and city boroughs are highlyinterdependent, given that for many projects it is thecity boroughs which turn the ideas into concrete plans.The reason for one development following on thetails of another is usually rooted in the nature of thosedevelopments. For example, it is preferable to lay outthe infrastructure first, followed by actual construction.The pace of restructuring and transformation is alsodependent on many factors, not least the prevailingeconomic circumstances. From a metropolitan perspectiveit is therefore sometimes necessary to prioritizethe transformation of one site before another, butfactors such as accessibility and availability of sites forrelocating industrial activity also play a part. The mixingof business activity with residential use is in certaincases only possible after the repositioning of environmentalcontours or taking noise-limiting measures.The Northern Banks of the IJ as a modelThe process of transformation along the NorthernBanks of the IJ is in full swing, with extensivelyemployed business premises slowly but surely makingway for a mix of housing and smaller-scale enterprisesthat have ties with the city centre.
