At right angle to the shopping street, wedge-shaped public spaces are located, giving access to the park. Instead of the large-scale shopping plaza, the new block ensemble is queued alongside a street in east-westerly direction, opening up to all public services, supermarkets and shops. In addition, the superblock was divided into nine smaller blocks, fitting more into the adjacent surrounding area. The park was moved from the inside of the block to the outside and situated between the crescent facade and the artificial lake. This masterplan requirement was transformed step by step. According to the original masterplan the district centre was to be conceived as ‘superblock’. The district centre of Ypenburg, located next to The Hague, was established in the nineties as part of a large city extension for 30.000 inhabitants.
