Note Belvedere
In order to keep Dutch cities recognizable, the Nota Belvedere was introduced in 1999. The cultural history of a city was involved in drawing up a plan for the spatial layout. This was to help cities maintain and strengthen their own identity. The Belvedere policy ran until 2009, after which it was replaced by MoMo (Modernization of Monuments Act). As a result, cultural history still has an important place in spatial development.
