About the artwork

The Zuidas is a rapidly developing business district in the southern part of Amsterdam, the Netherlands. Its name reflects its location along a major north-south axis of the city.

Known as Amsterdam's main international business district, Zuidas is a hub for finance, law, consultancy and other professional services. It is characterised by modern architecture, skyscrapers and contemporary urban design. The district is strategically located near the centre of Amsterdam and is well served by public transport, including trains, trams and buses.

The Zuidas is home to numerous multinationals, banks, law firms and financial institutions. In recent years, efforts have been made to make the Zuidas more mixed-use, including residential development. This aims to create a more vibrant and balanced urban environment with a mix of workspaces, housing, shops and recreational spaces.

The Zuidas is not only a business hub; it also boasts cultural and recreational facilities. The nearby Beatrix Park provides green space and there are plans for additional parks and cultural institutions to increase the attractiveness of the area.

The Zuidas continues to evolve with ongoing development projects. Plans include expanding the district's capacity for offices, housing and amenities, prioritising sustainability and accessibility.

Overall, the Zuidas represents a modern, dynamic and cosmopolitan area within Amsterdam, contributing significantly to the city's status as a leading global business centre and enhancing its reputation as a hub of innovation and entrepreneurship.
