The Red Village in Deventer
A rural area has traditionally been a neighborhood where the "ordinary people" lived, usually a labor force, as opposed to a middle class neighborhood or a neighborhood for the wealthy class. Unlike other "better" neighborhoods in a city, the building of a "neighborhood" consisted of simple, often in poor state homes.
Known examples of classical neighborhoods are in Amsterdam: the Jordaan, the Eastern Islands and the old Jewish quarter, in The Hague, the Schilderswijk and the Zeeheldenkwartier, in Rotterdam Katendrecht, in Utrecht Ondiep and District C, in Nijmegen Wolfskuil, in Arnhem Klarendal and Geitenkamp, in Maastricht the Stokstraat quarter and in Brussels de Marollen.
The old people's culture is reflected in certain music genres, of which there are singers such as Johnny Jordaan, Aunt Leen and André Hazes and nowadays Jan Smit, Marianne Weber and Frans Bauer.
Many labor districts from the first decades of the last century, but also some post-war districts, have evolved into new neighborhoods. Because of the prevalent socio-economic problems, they are also referred to as disadvantaged areas.
Characteristic of many neighborhoods is that young residents like to live in the neighborhood, even if they get married and get children. However, many neighborhood residents have moved more or less forced to growth centers and Vinex locations over the years. Amsterdam
Around the beginning of the twentieth century, plans for remediation were made for various populated neighborhoods. For example, parts of the Amsterdam Jewish quarter (Uilenburg and Valkenburg) were demolished in the 1920s. As a result of the crisis years and war years in the 1930s, this process followed further impoverishment. Some neighborhoods have been largely demolished in the last decades of the twentieth century and replaced by new buildings of a completely different character, such as the Amsterdam Jewish quarter and the neighborhoods of Kattenburg, Wittenburg and Oostenburg. The Jordaan remained largely preserved, but lost as a result of upgrading for a significant part its volcanic character. Externe link
