Bloemkoolwijken

Analyse en perspectief

Martijn Ubink, Thijs van der Steeg

Twenty per cent of Dutch housing is situated in the cul-de-sacs (woonerfwijken) that were built all over the country between 1970 and 1985. They are also known as cauliflower neighbourhoods because the irregular street pattern is reminiscent of cauliflower florets. By now they are due for a major overhaul and the time has come to reflect on the future of these neighbourhoods. This book reveals that the spatial and programmatic challenges here have a distinctly different character from what has been conventional in urban renewal to date.

This book has been made possible through funding by the Netherlands Architecture Fund and the Stuurgroep Experimenten Volkshuisvesting.
