Interviews with the locals
“I’ve been living here for 20 years now. I wouldn’t leave. Especially during Sail Amsterdam it’s very nice. I can just enjoy it from the comfort of my balcony.
I saw everything change. The problem here is urban decay. People throw their garbage on the streets.’”Riet, 88
“I just want to swim,
man’”Saïd, 38

must remain. The look of the neighbourhood is good, this is important.’”
Chris, 22
“This is a beautiful area. It’s very close

a lot of people just throw things on the
street.’”Rachid, 14

are no swings now.”Samira, 9
