The Bezuidenhout district in the city, adjacent to The Hague Staatsspoor station, had been largely destroyed in World War II by Allied bombing.
Jokinen saw an opportunity to put an end to the historical situation in which two main stations each served only part of the rail traffic.
A major highway (the so-called Zuidelijke Ontsluitingsweg, Southern Access Road) would pass through De Pijp to the inner city ring, surrounded by a central business district inspired by La Défense in Paris, with many high office towers.
His vision to build high towers in park-like environments was very similar to Le Corbusier's ideas for Paris (Plan Voisin).
Apart from a number of rather large viaducts on the Centrumring, and the fairly large-scale reprofiling of the Wibautstraat after the metro was built, the plan ultimately had hardly any consequences for the city.
