Abstract
Amsterdam is a popular city which creates problems on the housing market and in the overcrowded inner city. Amsterdam-Noord has been, to a large extend, a problem area for a long time. Now that the city needs to develop this thesis explores how Noord can contribute to the goals of the municipality. The so called transformation zone at the northern IJ-bank will probably be developed quite easily, the difficult and therefore interesting part is the area behind. Thereby a new urban plan is made for the Buikslotermeer. In this plan an identity for the area is used to create an interesting program for the area, the city and the region. The intervention improves the liveability in Amsterdam-Noord and a better connection between the city and its rural hinterland will be realised.
