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