Abstract
Amidst a housing shortage, the municipality of Amsterdam is committed to redevelop one of their urban fringes into a new mixed-use neighborhood, featuring a mix of tenure with room for both retail and creative space. In a neo-liberal and financially tight market, public and private actors need to balance their goals. Through creative city policy, both short- and longterm goals are pursued, striving to preserve creative space in places where economic incentive would leave no room. This bachelor thesis focusses focus on the goals and strategies of the municipality of Amsterdam in urban development, and how social impacts are dealt with. The redevelopment of the Havenstraat area is used as a case study to answer the subsequent research questions. Professionals in the field of urban planning were interviewed to share their perception on the process, providing qualitative data to answer the main research question; How do professionals perceive the social impacts of creative city policies on the Havenstraat area in Amsterdam? Through semi structured interviews, qualitative data was coded and interpreted to reach the following conclusion: The perception of urban professionals on the social impacts of creative city policies in the Havenstraat area reflects the need for formalization of inclusive and adaptable social impact mitigation policy. While striving for integration of economic, cultural and creative policy, social impact mitigation is vested in tacit knowledge and ad-hoc measures that are subject to project duration. Finally, this thesis recommends revisiting the Havenstraat project as a case study once the project is finished, as professionals view it as a precedent for social impact mitigation in creative city policy.
