We're going to talk about old urband neighborhoods and the characteristics of the residents.

In the book, they use the Kinkerbuurt as an example for this.

Amsterdam

• When you think of Amsterdam, you probably think of the beautiful canal houses in the city center: the historic city centre.
• Surrounding that, you'll find old urban neighborhoods. 
• The Kinkerbuurt from section 7.2 is one of these old urban neighborhoods..

Kinkerbuurt has a high housing density. What does this mean?

1. There are lots of homes per square kilometre
2. Lots of people live in one high rise building
3. Lots of houses are built in a short period of time
4. All the houses are spread apart

A video will follow about the Kinkerbuurt, both past and present.

- Write down: 3 differences between the Kinkerbuurt then and the Kinkerbuurt now.

- Mention one thing that is the same.

About the Kinkerbuurt

• The neighborhood was built very quickly because Amsterdam grew rapidly at the end of the 19th century. 
• The houses consist of large apartment blocks and are tall (5 stories). There are hardly any gardens, squares, or parks. 
• As a result, the housing density is high (= number of homes per square kilometer).

Many people moved to the cities.

Why?

Back to the Kinkerbuurt

Urban renewal

• Because the houses in the Kinkerbuurt were in such bad conditions, they were (1) renovated or (2) demolished and new build.
• This renewal we call urban renewal.

Why did the old apartments need to be demolished (knocked down)

1. Because they were unsafe
2. They were too small
3. They were badly built
4. There was no sunlight in them

The number of people in The Kinkerbuurt is increasing. Name two reasons why it's increasing.

Natural population growth

• Approximately 6,500 people live in the Kinkerbuurt. 
• Natural population growth causes this number to increase further: the population grows naturally (through births) and decreases (through deaths).

Read B150 (page 98) and then answer the questions on the following page.

1. What does a birth rate of 4 mean?
2. In the Kinkerbuurt, there is a birth surplus. What does this mean?

There are 10,000 residents in Kinkerbuurt, but this number is increasing. Why?

1. People are moving away in search of bigger houses
2. Natural population growth (more births than deaths)
3. People are migrating to the area
4. Lots of tourists visit the area
