公共空间总体规划与设计19世纪时,许多城市都相继接通了铁路,城市面貌也随之改变。代尔夫特也不例外,在那里,铁轨穿越了市中心原有的防御工事与运河。随着铁路交通的增长,1960年代时,当地决定建一座高架桥,尤其是因为该方案能为日渐增加的往来市中心的机动车交通提供更多空间。然而,这座高架却最终沦为分处铁轨两侧的两片城市居住区之间的庞大障碍物。它也在阿姆斯特丹和鹿特丹之间的重要铁路线上形成了所谓的瓶颈,并产生许多噪音污染。 Master Planning and Design of Public Spaces In the nineteenth century, many cities were successively connected to the railway, and the city’s appearance also changed. Delft is no exception, where the tracks traverse the downtown defenses and canals. As the rail traffic grew, the local decided to build an elevated viaduct in the 1960s, especially since it would provide more room for increased motor traffic to and from the city center. However, the elevated structure eventually became a huge obstacle between two urban settlements on two sides of the railroad track. It also creates a so-called bottleneck on the major rail lines between Amsterdam and Rotterdam and produces much noise pollution.
