1960s - Amsterdam ArenA
Ideas 1960s
Industry and offices Monofunctional
Seperated from residential neigh-bourhoods by train tracks
Critique
Slowly becomes multifunctional
Still excluded from adjacent problem area
Together with Schiphol and Zui-das it forms the ‘economic motor’ of Amsterdam

Weakness: neighbourhood cannot benefit from adjacent opportunities
Threat: this may increase inequality
Visible in segregation, but also in pro-gramme.
Lack of opportunities
“There is no straitforward link between city and neighbourhood fortunes”
