Oostelijke Eilanden Amsterdam: 50 years of Urban Renewal

A city walk Oostelijke Eilanden with Tess Broekmans shows you a cross section of 50 years urban renewal.

This walk shows how cities have changed their view on renewal:  from stadsvernieuwing with complete demolition, via stedelijke vernieuwing till transformation.

What can we learn from the past for future inner city developments? How do new inhabitants influence the neighbourhood?

70's style Kattenburg : greval concrete

80's Wittenburg: balancing historic buildings with 80's affordable housing

90's Oostenburg zuid: large blocks disturbing the urban fabric

'00 Funenpark: urban villa's in the park  by Frits van Dongen

'10 Czaar Peterbuurt: urban renewal respecting the street and the urban tissue

'20 Oostenburg, a  transformation in progress that Tess with her office Urhahn has been working on for the past 13 years.
