A few decades after the urban renewal, the stock can be taken. A lot of neighborhoods that have been renewed in the seventies and eighties, are still considered to be problem areas. The Indische Buurt is one of these neighborhoods and is not that well connected to the urban fabric in general and the city center in particular. Behind the heightened train tracks, the Indische buurt leads a hidden existence, as if it is still on the outskirts of the city. The surroundings changed dramatically over the past decades, but the Indische Buurt hasn’t reacted on these developments yet. With my graduation project, I attempt to make use of this newly obtained, more central position within the city of Amsterdam. The proposed north-south route for slow traffic will complement the existing network and also upgrade the malfunctioning Flevopark.
