Abstract

This thesis introduces a strategy which enhances the vitality of Zoetermeer as a residential city on the long term. Special focus is on attracting highly educated starters by making the city center more appreciated by them to live. In this way, it is hoped the city will become more appreciated by all its residents on the long term.
