Amsterdam's post-war Utopia for urban diversity

During the first post-war decades, Amsterdam's inner city was under threat. City officials, planners and private developers considered the comprehensive redevelopment of central districts as the only solution to accomodate a growing population. In the second half of the 1960s, residents rose up against this urban renewal order. This contribution takes discussions over the future of Amsterdam's Leidseplein as a case study.
