Van buitenbeentje naar allemansvriend - wat betekent Rotterdam voor jou?
An evening about how Rotterdam has changed, and especially how residents, young and old, experience this. Through film clips, photos, and personal experiences, we explore the new Rotterdam.
Rotterdam Transformation: From Outsider to Everyone's Friend
Ten years ago, Vers Beton published the book 'Help! We are popular'. Rotterdam was undergoing a major transformation at the time. The city was attracting more and more tourists. During this evening at BAR OMI, we explore how Rotterdam has changed. How do residents, young and old, experience this transformation? Through film clips, photos, and personal stories, you will get a picture of the new Rotterdam. Previously, the city was difficult for outsiders to understand, known as an idiosyncratic cultural outsider. The city has transformed this image. Rotterdam now has much to offer in terms of culture and leisure.
Is Rotterdam still different?
Has Rotterdam increasingly come to resemble other cities, or does it remain different from many other Dutch cities? What does Rotterdam mean to you as a resident today? Eeva Liukku, former editor-in-chief of Vers Beton, and investigative journalist Teun van den Ende discuss this. Discover how residents experience the changes and the character of the city.
