happen to have been born in Amsterdam and have been living in Amsterdam-Noord since I was ten.

 

On a bicycle, with the wind blowing through your hair, I’ll take you on a discovery tour to the most surprising places in Amsterdam-Noord. I will tell you the stories and facts about the past, the present and the future of this trendy part of town. The background stories about how Noord came into being, its villages and garden communities, urban development and architecture. The rough industrial terrains and the splendid peatlands, the quiet atmosphere of a village just outside the city.

 

Stories about the captains’ homes, the flooding of the Oostzaan garden community, the Honig doctor’s home, the Overhoeks Tower,  the Children Tree, Ajax, the hospital homes, the construction of the North Sea Canal, the Gallows, the ferries crossing the IJ, the Ransdorp tower, the friendly bombardment, the Mosveld Babies and many other stories.

 

During my work for the district of Amsterdam-Noord, I have shown thousands of people how Amsterdam-Noord has changed. These changes have even caught the attention of the New York Times. But not only the NYT. All sorts of media are paying attention to the way Amsterdam-Noord is undergoing a transformation.
