The utopia of the binational city 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Nicole Ehlers 《GeoJournal》2001,54(1):21-32
Kerkrade and Herzogenrath, on the German-Dutch border, look back at a common past in the former Land of Rode. This ceased
to exist in 1815 when the border was drawn between Prussia and The Netherlands. Since then the people turned their backs to
each other more and more and started orientating towards their own nation state. Only after the dramatic nationalism of World
War II subsided, did the border loose some of its dividing effects on political and social life. Unification processes of
the European Union strengthened this, and the rapprochement between Kerkrade and Herzogenrath has become so intensive that
they present themselves as one town: Eurode. The identification of both towns as one territorial, institutional and social
entity was and is essential for the success of Eurode. Yet, creating a feeling of 'we-ness' is not enough if the actions and
thoughts of the inhabitants do not match this feeling. This article therefore deals with the different stages of cross border
integration necessary before one can speak of a 'binational city'. The question remains open however, whether the binational
city can ever be more than Utopia.
