SUSTAINABLE PLANNING37What does the optimised andsustainable planning of the newPort area involve? A good exampleis the multifunctional outer contour.The outer contour of Maasvlakte 2is suited for a variety of functions.For instance, this sea wall does notjust protect the hinterland from thesea, it also serves as the maintransport corridor for road, rail,cable, and pipeline connections.Turbines on the hard sea wall in thenorthern section and on a sectionof the soft sea wall allow for thegeneration of wind energy. Thesouthwestern and western sectionswill have the character of a naturaldune landscape with beach areasInnovativemultifunctional outerand inner contourssuited for various forms ofrecreation on the exterior – from abeach for day trippers to an activitybeach for surfing, horse-ridingand kitesurfing.Sustainable spatial planningfor traffic, transport and energyIt is possible to realise a great dealof efficiency and save aconsiderable amount of energy byalready taking sustainability intoaccount at this point in the planningprocess. There are plans to bundlethe emergency services like the firebrigade, the seaport police and thenautical services, for instance.
38The transport of energy and otherproducts via a network of pipelineswill be encouraged: this will reducetransport by truck, rail, and inlandshipping and create aninfrastructure that makes it possibleto cluster industrial activities. Inaddition, the Port Authority hastaken the ambition to reduce roadtraffic into account in Maasvlakte 2’s design stage (see Modal Shiftin Chapter 10). There will also beadequate facilities for inlandshipping and rail transport.Clustering of industrialactivitiesIndustrial ecology occupies acentral position in the sustainableplanning of Maasvlakte 2. Thebundling of similar companiesoffers advantages from the outset.Clustering chemical industry andcontainer companies not only hasenvironmental benefits, it is alsoadvantageous in terms of businesseconomics. Chemical companiescan benefit from one another’sproximity, as semimanufactures,rest products, residual heat andcold are all close at hand. Thissaves energy and raw materialsand reduces the transportrequirement. In addition, a relativelyclean source of energy like residualheat can be recycled quite easily in
