title: A metro line for the better? on transit-induced gentrification in Amsterdam-Noord
ispublished: unpub
full_text_status: public
abstract: 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
