Quote from the report of the METREX conference:

"Upon returning from lunch, Fred Schoorl announced a ‘musical intermezzo’ by Utrechtbased songwriter/producer and planner Alan Lauris, proving – in the words of Mr Schoorl – “that planning & music can go together”. Mr Lauris’ performance, described as a ‘musical metropolitan journey’, consisted of a number of song, which were informative as well as entertaining, giving delegates an introduction to the thirty ‘Dutch Cities’, explaining how ‘The country is the metropolis’, and finally how the Dutch like everything to be ‘Not too big’.

This musical interlude was received with rapturous applause, following which Mr Schoorl introduced the last guest speaker, Mr Robin Thompson, of University College London, Planning Advisor to the Mayor of London."
