FROM THE AUTHOR:

The Westerpark municipal district council decided to develop the former minicipal
waterboard 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 in�uenced 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 �oor

properties and a green public space intended not only for the residents, but also for
those living in the densely built adjacent neighbourhoods.
