Abstract
Abstract
Dutch spatial planning flourished after the World War II until the nineties. Then, neoliberal politics took over: the government withdraw from its directing and controlling involvement and left spatial development to the ‘market’. In reaction to several serious problems that were not solved by the market, a new government started spring 2022 with the ambition to reclaim spatial planning policy and provide all citizens with sufficient and affordable housing. This article urges churches and congregations to get involved in the upcoming redevelopment of the Dutch landscape by actively participating in citizens collectives for spatial planning with their theological texts and practices.
