%T A metro line for the better? on transit-induced gentrification in Amsterdam-Noord
%U https://frw.studenttheses.ub.rug.nl/4705/
%X As sustainable transportation becomes a key development in modern cities, and housing  increasingly becoming a problem in the Netherlands, at least part of the answer seems to lie in  Transit-Oriented Development. This But the social aspect of TOD has only recently become part  of academic literature under the name Transit-Induced Gentrification. From this perspective, the  2018 Noord-Zuidlijn metro line in Amsterdam and the city part of Amsterdam-Noord are studied  to see what the gentrification effects of the Noord-Zuidlijn are. The following research question  is asked:  How has development of the Noord-Zuidlijn contributed to gentrification in Amsterdam-  Noord?  As Noord is gentrification at the crossroads of Government-Led Gentrification, State-Led  Gentrification and Place-Branding Gentrification have previously been studied in Noord, but the  effect the Noord-Zuidlijn has had on Gentrification is yet unknown. This study uses a temporal  comparison, a literature review and a survey, and finds little numerical evidence for  gentrification. The literature review and survey do find gentrification taking place, but Transit-  Induced Gentrification is not (yet) identified. It is hypothesized, with current and future  developments of Noord in mind, that Transit-Induced Gentrification can potentially be harmful  for the social fabric of Amsterdam-Noord
