Groningen is the capital of the north Holland province of the same name and is the fifth largest city in Holland. The council, through the 1970's has given social emphasis to its building and planning. The result of this is that there is a uniform sub-urban texture to the neo-village vernacular housing and that the centre is restricted to pedestrians, bicycles, and public transport to the virtual exclusion of private and commercial vehicles.
