Description:
Rotterdam, like many other cities, is an arrival city. A city where migrants arrive and work their way up. In the past, the Zeelanders, Brabanters and Chinese did that in Rotterdam South. Since the 1970s, it has been migrant groups such as Turks, Surinamese, Moroccans and more recently Eastern Europeans. When the new influx gets better, they tend to leave the city, just like their Dutch fellow citizens. After the white flight, we have been talking about a black flight for some time now. Cities want to entice the 'Young Urban (Ethnic) Professionals' to stay. Among other things by creating new residential areas on abandoned harbour sites and demolishing old houses for new construction. But what do these up-and-coming talents want themselves? How do they see their future? Can they be bound to Rotterdam South, an area that is considered to be one of the most vulnerable in the Netherlands? This book portrays a group of young immigrant city women. They are the vanguard of an emerging new middle class in the Netherlands. The book focuses on what moves and motivates them, how they see Rotterdam South and are part of it themselves. Their personal stories make the potential and challenges for Rotterdam South, comparable in size to Eindhoven, sharply visible. The perspectives of these young women offer many starting points for the development and renewal of urban environments, which are becoming increasingly international.
