Extreme Makeover by Merijn Oudenampsen - Mute magazine
"Amsterdam is undergoing a historic process of regeneration. Much of the city's reserve of social housing is being transformed into luxury accommodation for the growing numbers of "creative economy" employees. Meanwhile, waiting lists for the remaining social housing are flooded by former occupants forced out of their homes and neighbourhoods by renovation programmes. Merijn Oudenampsen describes a process of urban "rebirth" through place branding and social cleansing."
