Thus, obtain my master’s degree in the Management of the Built Environment. Unlike many students who wanted to become an architect, I started the bachelor Architecture with the intention to end up in a dual master of Urbanism and Management. This came together in the Management in the Built Environment, where I specifically chose to dive in a topic related to the urban area development. The research is set around the development of the Haven-Stad. Immediately after reading many news articles regarding this development, I noticed that it was less in favor of the heavy industry. This raised many questions about the role of the heavy industry in urban redevelopment projects and I wanted to understand this from the perspective of the heavy industry as well as the municipality of Amsterdam.
