 | SAWA 3A TOOL - BASSIMA ¤ GIORGIO @ DEN HAAG 2008 Het stadhuis van Den Haag is gelegen aan de zuidoostzijde van de Kalvermarkt en de noordoostzijde van het Spui. Het heeft als bijnaam IJspaleis wegens zijn witte kleur. Het kenmerkt zich ook door het grote atrium. De architect is de Amerikaan Richard Meier. Met het ontwerp werd in 1986 begonnen. Het werd gebouwd in de periode 1990-1995. De opdrachtgever tot de bouw is het ABP Pensioenfonds, de aannemer Wilma Bouw. De bouwkosten bedroegen € 125 miljoen, het bruto vloeroppervlak is 131.000 m². In hetzelfde gebouw is ook de Openbare Bibliotheek Den Haag gevestigd. Aan de westzijde is tramstation Spui, aan de zuidwestzijde tramhalte Spui-Stadhuis, en aan de noordwestzijde tramhalte Kalvermarkt-Stadhuis. ¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤ Hoftoren is the tallest building of The Hague, measuring 142 metres. The Ministry of Education, Culture and Science of the Netherlands is housed here. The tower has 30 floors. City life concentrates around the Hofvijver and the Binnenhof, where the parliament is located. The city has a limited student culture because it has no real university, although the Royal Conservatory of The Hague is located there, as well as a vocational university called the The Hague University. The city has many civil servants and diplomats (see below). In fact, the number and variety of foreign residents (especially the expatriates) makes the city culturally quite diverse, with many foreign pubs, shops and cultural events. The Hague is the largest Dutch city on the North Sea and comprises two distinct beach towns. The main beach resort Scheveningen, in the northwestern part of the city, is a popular destination for tourists and young people. With 10 million visitors a year it is the most popular beach town in the Benelux. It's perhaps for this reason that many, even some Dutch people, mistakenly believe Scheveningen is a city in its own right. That is not the case: Scheveningen is one of The Hague's eight districts ("stadsdelen"). Kijkduin, in the southwest, is The Hague's other beach resort. It is a lot smaller and attracts mainly local people. The former Dutch colony of Netherlands East Indies ("Nederlands-Indië", current-day Indonesia) has left its mark on The Hague. Many streets are named after places in the Netherlands East Indies and there is a sizable "Indisch(e)" or "Indo" (i.e. mixed Dutch-Indonesian) community. Since the loss of these Dutch possessions in December 1949, "Indisch(e)" or "Indo" people often refer to The Hague as "the Widow of the Indies". The older parts of the town usually have characteristically wide and long streets. Houses are generally low-rise (not more than three floors), and quite elegant. The layout of the city is more spacious than other Dutch cities. There are only a few canals in The Hague, as most of them were drained in the late 1800s. Some of the most prosperous and some of the poorest neighbourhoods of the Netherlands can be found in The Hague. The wealthier areas (The Vogelwijk, Statenkwartier, Belgisch Park, Marlot and Benoordenhout) are generally located in the northwest part of the city. The poorer areas (Transvaal, Moerwijk, the Schilderswijk) can be found in the southern and eastern areas, or near the coast in Scheveningen (Duindorp). This division is reflected in the local accent: The more affluent citizens are usually called "Hagenaars" and speak so-called "bekakt Haags" ("Bekakt" is Dutch for "stuck-up"). This contrasts with the "Hagenezen", who speak "plat Haags" ("plat" meaning "flat" or "common"). There is relatively little social interaction between these groups ¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤La ville accueille en 1948 le Congrès de La Haye, ou « Congrès de l'Europe » qui donne l'impulsion du processus d'unification européenne. Après la guerre, La Haye fut l'un des plus grands chantiers d'Europe, la ville s'est ensuite étendue fortement vers le sud-ouest pour atteindre une pointe de 550 000 habitants vers 1970. Dans les années 1970 et 1980, les classes moyennes, pour la plupart blanches, ont déménagé vers les banlieues de la ville comme Voorburg, Leidschendam, Rijswijk et surtout Zoetermeer. Cette migration répond à un schéma classique du centre urbain pauvre et des banlieues aisées. Dans cette seconde partie de siècle La Haye confirme aussi son statut de grand centre administratif. En plus d'être le centre politique du pays, la ville accueille de nombreuses institutions européennes mais aussi internationales. |
