September Walk of the Month

You learn as you go. After various subdivision variants in previously realized neighborhoods of the 1935 General Expansion Plan of Amsterdam (the AUP), experiments were successfully carried out with green courts in the Frankendael garden village and the Middenmeer neighborhood.

Walk through the future of that time in Watergraafsmeer, along the work of urban planners Cornelis van Eesteren and Jakoba Mulder, renowned architects of the time and landscape architects Mien Ruys and Hans Warnau. The result of their cooperation turned out to be very successful: Jerusalem was the first post-war neighborhood in the Netherlands to gain the status of a national monument.

Be amazed at the amount of greenery that is an important part of this overall design, 'the pleasure garden for the workers', according to Van Eesteren.
