Abstract:
Two years ago District West of the Municipality of Amsterdam implemented a new policy. The
implementation of the new policy went hand in hand with a reorganisation of the Municipality of
Amsterdam. Before the reorganization, the municipality existed out of fourteen districts. Since 2010,
there are only seven districts left. One of the districts is District West. District West is divided into
four smaller districts; each district has several neighbourhoods. The smaller district Amsterdam OudWest
will be used as the case study of this thesis (Factsheets West, 26-04-2011).
