“Amsterdam Arena, Duivendrecht” Urban Vision

Duivendrecht, The Netherlands January 2010- May 2010

Professional project: Urhahn Urban Design, Amsterdam, The Netherlands (Junior Designer)

Urban Planning

An urban vision for the future development of the area of the Amsterdam Arena Stadium, between the river Amstel and the village of Duivendrecht, is proposed through 4 different scenarios:

- The village: a new urban settlement, comparable in size to Duivendrech, is proposed in the western part of the site.

- Living close to the Amstel river: this scenario strengthens the proximity of the river Amstel. The main connection with the river organizes the future settlement.

- Next stop Duivendrecht: the new neighborhood grows along the railway. A new big park is designed in the rest of the area.

- Amstel district: the most urban scenario of the 4. It visualizes a new neighborhood with all the facilities connected with Amsterdam by metro and tram.
