Summary:

"Amsterdam's Eastern Harbour District consists of a number of artificial peninsulas constructed around 1900. When the once-flourishing port lost its function, the decision was made to turn the district into a prominent residential area. The transformation, which began in the 1970s, is now complete. This book provides an overview of the urban planning and architecture of the Eastern Harbour District, supplemented by thematic articles."--BOOK JACKET.
