Abstract

The closure of the river Scheldt in 1585, created a crisis for the Southern Netherlands as its major harbour was robbed of its outlet to sea. Military solutions to regain access were attempted, but all failed. Brussels had to find a different solution to this structural crisis. It was decided to create an alternative outlet to the North Sea, bypassing the Dutch. This ‘transit policy’ as it was called, was indeed a structural answer. Its task was to generate a new commercial artery running counter to the country’s geography and thus creating a new urban network. It took some two centuries for the South Netherlanders to achieve this commercial east-west running artery that united their country economically. Customs and transit duties aimed at promoting trade on the east-west artery, combined with measures to curb trade on the north-south axes, played an important role in achieving this. Equally of significances was a tremendous effort in road and canal construction that linked the cities, the provinces and finally the urban networks together.
