A visit to Groenhoven in Amsterdam-Zuidoost
◆1 source
An episode about Groenhoven in Amsterdam-Zuidoost visited the neighborhood’s ten apartment buildings, which are connected by glass fire stairways overlooking the green Joop van Stigtpark. The buildings’ inner streets, lifts and shared spaces were designed to encourage residents to meet one another, in line with architect Joop van Stigt’s aim of creating places for social contact. Manon said she had moved to Groenhoven by chance after finding an affordable home and had gradually become attached to the neighborhood. She said that, unlike in her previous home, one of her neighbors had become one of her best friends.
