The New Canal District

The book De Nieuwe Grachtengordel about the realisation of the General Extension Plan of Amsterdam (AUP) was published by THOTH publishers. In this book, extensive research has been done into the relationship between the original AUP and the actually realised city. It contains a wealth of new insights. And just like the elaboration and implementation of the AUP, De Nieuwe Grachtengordel was also a team effort. The authors Marinke Steenhuis, Paul Meurs, Vincent van Rossem, Jeroen Schilt, Lara Voerman and Minke Walda have created a book that is fascinating, instructive and topical.
