NEW: IMAGINE A METROPOLIS
Or how Rotterdam fought its way out of its identity crisis during the 1970s to become the most metropolitan of all Dutch cities. It was Rotterdam's artists and cultural networks that spearheaded this new thinking about this city. This page turning, ruthlessly documented history of 30 years in Rotterdam was even designed by a Rotterdammer. In two editions, Dutch and English.
