Around Amsterdam’s IJ Banks

From Architecture and Art to Green and New Development Areas

Sabine Lebesque

The banks of the IJ in Amsterdam are undergoing a spectacular transformation. The developments on the South Bank have almost reached the concluding stage, while intensive building activity is taking place on the North Bank and new developments are getting under way, changing the perception of the river from an industrial open waterway to the blue centre of the city.

As you cycle, sail or walk along the river banks, you come across old buildings, new ones, building sites, as well as works of art, vegetation, zones connected with the harbour activities, landscape features, monuments, catering facilities, or just locations with a special story. With more than 150 project descriptions.
