Spatial Development Programme for Caribbean Netherlands
The Public Entities of Bonaire, Sint Eustatius and Saba face major spatial planning tasks. Population growth, climate change, economic growth and transitions, food security, as well as protecting unique culture and nature, require choices in spatial development. Given the complexity and urgency of the tasks and the corresponding spatial interests, the Minister of Housing and Spatial Planning has opted to pursue her role in spatial development of the three islands more emphatically. This intention also figures in the
Caribbean Netherlands Housing and Spatial Planning policy agenda (action line 4: Chart spatial course)1. The Spatial Development Programme for Caribbean Netherlands (SDPCN) elaborates on this agenda.
