A Note on the Illustrations
The illustrations in this year’s report are devoted to the
activities of Utrechtse Maatschappij tot Stadsherstel N.V.,
a company established in January 1985 with the object of
promoting urban regeneration in the city of Utrecht, in
order to publicize this company’s activities more widely.
The designers have opted for a layout employing three
fourpage spreads, each presenting - against a presentday
background authentic, historical material of various
kinds relating to a particular project.
