Informations supplémentaires:
Houten is Dutch new town, about 9 kms south east of Utrecht. Designated in 1966, it was built from the 1970s onwards with a radical design that favours pedestrians and bikes over motorised traffic. Unusually, the layout incorporates two town centres, both with a railway station (on the line from 'S-Hertogenbosch to Utrecht) in a central location. While pedestrian and cycle routes converge on the traffic-free town centres and stations, roads for traffic are directed outwards towards a ring road; travelling by car from, say, one residential district to another, typically means driving out to the ring road and then back in elsewhere. Houten incorporates the planning concept of "filtered permeability" whereby an area is designed to allow pedestrians and cylists to travel through it more directly than motorists. This view of a traffic free path for bikes and pedestrians in a residential area illustrates how some of the principles of sustainable development can look on the ground.
