Description
  • -The Westerpark municipal district council decided to develop the former municipal water board terrain (GWL terrain) in Amsterdam into a residential area in 1989.
  • The complex was to be a car-free, environmentally friendly residential area.
  • The plans not only influenced car use but also car ownership - the only parking spaces available were created on the edge of the complex.
  • The complex includes properties for both renting and buying, with the emphasis on larger houses for families.
  • There are generous outdoor spaces, apartments with roof gardens, private gardens for the ground floor properties and a green public space intended not only for the residents, but also for those living in the densely built adjacent neighbourhoods.
  • 6 ha, 1,400 inhabitants, 230 persons/ha, 600 residential units
