Author Description

The banks of the IJ in Amsterdam have undergone a spectacular transformation in recent years, and continue to do so. Intensive building activity and further new developments are transforming this dockland area from an industrial waterway into a fluid city centre. This book features more than 150 project descriptions, as well as many special stories from the area, highlighting the works of art, nature, harbour zones, monuments and many old and new buildings to be seen whether walking, cycling or sailing around Amsterdam's waterfront.
