Gemeente Utrecht

Utrecht is developing from a medium-sized provincial city into a regional capital of European importance. The city's current expansion, more rapid than any in the city's long history, combines physical expansion with innovation, major economic opportunities and a new urban dynamism. As a medieval treasure and a leading academic, technological and cultural centre, Utrecht is now a pro-active player in the international community. The Annual Report 2011 & Outlook for 2012 (pdf file, 1 MB) describes some of the ways in which Utrecht pursued its international ambitions in 2011 and how the city shall continue doing so in 2012.
