The Kop van Zuid is a new district in Rotterdam, located on the south bank of the Nieuwe Maas river opposite the city centre. The district consists of the Wilhelminapier and the V bounded by the Rosestraat / Rotterdam-Dordrecht railway line on the one hand and the Hilledijk / Hillestraat / Rijnhaven on the other hand.
The Kop van Zuid is and will be built on former disused port sites around the Binnenhaven, Entrepothaven, Rijnhaven, Spoorweghaven and the Wilhelminapier. Together with the Nieuwe Maas, these port sites created a large physical distance between the centre to the north of the Maas and Rotterdam-Zuid. By transforming this area into an urban area and by building good connections, an attempt is being made to unite North and South.
