The city of Delft exists in a bottleneck of two metropolitan areas: Den Haag and Rotterdam. As they grow larger over time, Delft will need to compete in order to prevent becoming a suburban area to one of the metropolises. In order for Delft to take it’s rightful place within the Great Urban Necklace, the city needs to become better connected, more dense, and more urban. One way to achieve this would be to implement strategies for Delft to transform into a knowledge city! It already supports one of the world’s most robust universities, but the city most develop in ways which prevent trends of commuter traffic and encourage permanent settlement in Delft itself
