IMAGINE A METROPOLIS ROTTERDAMS.pdf

The urban and cultural climate of Rotterdam changed
radically between 1970 and 2000. Opinions differ about
what the most important changes were, and when they
occurred.
Imagine a Metropolis
shows that it was first and
foremost a new perspective on Rotterdam that
stimulated the development of the city during this
period. If the Rotterdam of 1970 was still a city with
an identity crisis that wanted to be small rather than
large and cosy rather than commercial, by 2000
Rotterdam had the image of the most metropolitan of
all Dutch cities. Artists and other cultural practitioners
– a group these days termed the ‘creative class’ –
were the first to advance this metropolitan vision, thereby
paving the way for the New Rotterdam that would begin
to take concrete shape at the end of the 1980s.
Imagine
a Metropolis
goes on to show that this New Rotterdam is
returning to its nineteenth-century identity and the
developments of the inter-war years and the period
of post-war reconstruction.
