The national policy on spatial development is characterized by the renewal of early postwar housing estates. These housing estates are characterized by large scale monotonous dwellings, and a surplus of unused public space and large infrastructural barriers. The negative image of the districts has spiral effect which contributes to further expiration. There is growing awareness of the potential of cultural historical qualities for urban renewal of these early postwar housing estates. Moerwijk is chosen as a case-study to explore the possibilities of an approach of cultural historical values of the reconstruction period for urban renewal. In the approach for the renewal of Moerwijk physical interventions are related to socio-cultural and economic issues in order to be able to formulate an integral approach for renewal.
