ABSTRACT
The aim of this chapter is to describe and explain the market for industrial property in the Netherlands. This is done in the following way. The workings of the industrial property market result in the provision of industrial land and industrial buildings in a certain quantity, in certain locations, at certain prices, etc. These can be regarded as the outcomes of the industrial property market, and it is these outcomes which are described in this chapter. But this chapter aims also to explain the outcomes. The explanation is sought by: identifying the actors involved; describing the context within which they take their
decisions; describing the decisions which the actors take, and explaining these decisions as being the result of the interaction between the various actors mutually, and between the actors and the context.
