Dutch term or phrase: stadsvenster
Er wordt enerzijds hard vastgehouden aan dat wat overeind moet blijven en anderzijds worden grenzen aangegeven waarbinnen flexibel ingespeeld kan worden op toekomstige ontwikkelingen. Daarmee wordt ingespeeld op de functie van de Heilige Driehoek als stadsrand (overgang stad-land), stadspark (uitloopgebied), stadsvenster (ingetogen visitekaartje naar de A27). Thanks in advance, Siobhan

The other answers were fine too, but a little too literary for the context of the text in general. Thanks.

a window on the city


Explanation:
This might fit the bill as they are regarding the "heilige driehoek' as a frame through which the city can be viewed.

agree  Ken Cox: A window works both ways, but the qualification 'ingetogen visitekaartje naar de A27' puts the emphasis on showing off the city, so 'on the city' is OK. One small objection is that 'window on the city' is often used figuratively in English.

portal to the city


Explanation:
another option - since the emphasis appears to be on presenting the city to the outside world (or at least a part of the outside world)
