Amsterdam's Zuidas prject faces criticism

摘要

Amsterdam businesses, many of them global companies, face a decade of traffic disruption and noise when road works start in the Netherlands capital's financial district. Among the projects in Zuidas will be placing the A10 ring road into a tunnel, the Financieele Dagblad newspaper reported. The Zuidas is a rapidly developing business district in the city of Amsterdam. The Zuidas, also known as the 'Financial Mile', lies between the rivers Amstel and Schinkel along the ringroad A10. Large multinationals such as ING Group, ABN-Amro, and Akzo Nobel already have their headquarters in the area. The World Trade Center Amsterdam has recently been renovated and expanded. The greatest influences for the development of the Zuidas are La Defense in Paris and Canary Wharf in London. The area's railway station, Amsterdam Zuid will become the second main station of Amsterdam.
