Inner City Approach
The Amsterdam city centre is popular, but the crowds cause nuisance, which is why Amsterdammers increasingly avoid the centre. We strive for a good balance between liveliness and liveability, with room for creativity, a pleasant living environment and sufficient facilities. By reducing nuisance and crowds, the city centre becomes a safe and accessible place for both residents and visitors.
