[15] This distinction is usually made in relation to Dutch politics and media, who according to critics are mostly interested in the affairs of the Randstad. Both branches (government and media) have their center in the Randstad; respectively in The Hague and in Hilversum. The Randstad itself, however, does not represent a unified cultural zone. It is not a 'place' of residence or a carrier of cultural identity.
Politically, the Randstad is broadly center-right and conservative-leaning, with student cities, including Amsterdam, Utrecht, Leiden and Delft, being more progressive. There is an exception to this dichotomy, however. The Bible Belt overlaps with the Randstad, and municipalities lying in this overlap like Hardinxveld-Giessendam, Bunschoten and especially Urk tend to vote for Christian political parties, like the Reformed Political Party and the Christian Union.
6 million people, consists of the Haarlem and IJmuiden conurbations in the west, Amsterdam at the centre and Almere, the Gooi area and Utrecht in the east. The conurbation of Utrecht (population around 1 million) can be considered to be part of this wing, but can also be excluded. The cultural centre of the Noordvleugel, however, is notably centered on Amsterdam, which could as such be considered a classical centralistic metropolis.
3/sq mi)Demonym(s)Randstedeling (inhabitant), Randstedelijk (adjective)Websiteregio-randstad. eu The Randstad (Dutch pronunciation: [ˈrɑntstɑt] (listen); "Rim" or "Edge" City) is a roughly crescent-shaped conurbation in the central-western Netherlands, consisting primarily of the four largest Dutch cities (Amsterdam, Rotterdam, The Hague and Utrecht); their suburbs, and many towns in between, that all grew and merged into each other, containing almost half the country's population. Among other things, it includes the Port of Rotterdam (the busiest seaport outside of Asia), the Port of Amsterdam (Europe's fourth-busiest seaport), and Amsterdam Airport Schiphol (the busiest airport in Europe by aircraft movements).
The publication "Randstad 2040", released by the Government of the Netherlands, reveals that the Noordvleugel (Amsterdam and Utrecht region) is already growing parallel to the A1, A2, and A4 motorways, as well as into the northern part of North Holland (Alkmaar and Hoorn region) and Flevoland (Almere and Lelystad region). [14] There is also a trend shown that the Noordvleugel is expanding parallel to the A2 (Amsterdam towards Eindhoven) and A12 (Utrecht towards the WERV region, encompassing the cities of Wageningen, Ede, Rhenen and Veenendaal) motorways. This region is called the Zuidoostflank (English: Southeastside). [10] Culture[edit] It is sometimes argued that a cultural divide exists between the Randstad and the rest of the country.
According to the late influential urbanist Niek de Boer, the Randstad simply 'does not exist'. [16] While the cities and landscapes in the Randstad share some commonalities, there are also large differences originating in centuries of divergent development. There are strong local identities within the region, especially in rural environments.
Amsterdam recently started to present itself as the Amsterdam metropolitan area (Metropoolregio Amsterdam). The expectation is that the use of the Noordvleugel and the Randstad will become less as a result. [8] While Utrecht is not the center of the Noordvleugel, it is in fact the center of the whole of the Netherlands itself. While being categorised as part of the Randstad, the Utrecht agglomeration lies relatively further apart, owing to its long history of rivalry with Holland and Amsterdam in particular. Utrecht is much more monocentric than Amsterdam, which has booming satellite cities such as Haarlem and Almere. While Utrecht functions as the gateway to the Randstad for both car and rail transport, it is disconnected from the virtually continuous urbanised zone in western Holland by the protected polder landscape of the Groene Hart.
[17] The Randstad is home to some of the most reputable universities in Europe, including the University of Amsterdam, the VU Amsterdam, Leiden University, Erasmus University Rotterdam, Utrecht University and the Delft University of Technology. [18] Transportation[edit] The Randstad possesses a large infrastructure system, with many railways, motorways, trams and subways in various cities.

[7] This actually consists of two large metropolitan areas: Noordvleugel[edit] The Noordvleugel ("North Wing"), with a population of around 3.
“Tenemos claro que jugamos ante un club histórico y eso nos va a motivar para intentar eliminarles y dar la sorpresa. Sabemos que es el favorito y seguro que no tiene la posición que se merece por plantilla en Segunda División”. ¿Cómo se prepara el partido? ¿Habrá algo especial y diferente a la preparación de un partido de liga? ”No, será una semana normal, la preparamos con tranquilidad. Veo partidos del Tenerife, le he visto con el Burgos y a nosotros nos cambia el planteamiento. Lo normal es que ellos lleven la iniciativa del partido y queremos dar buena imagen y quien sabe si podemos dar la sorpresa".
¿A qué nivel de profesionalización está la Tercera División en Asturias? "Aquí salvo el Sporting B, los demás equipos son amateurs.
