Oostelijk Havengebied

Oostelijk Havengebied : The Michelin guide review

These vast expanses of reclaimed land, which until the 1970s were industrial dockyards, were in the early 1990s converted into residential areas. Contemporary interpretations of traditional local housing (Java-eiland) border its three vast residential complexes (KNSM-eiland). The two peninsulas of Sporenburg and Borneo-eiland have extensive low-rise family housing wth roof terraces. A successful exercise in mixed social housing, a concept dear to Amsterdam!
