Port basins
West of the centre, rectangular harbour basins branch off the river in a regular sequence, and they make up a large share of the city's footprint on the map.

The map
About this Rotterdam map poster
Seen from above, Rotterdam is organised by water. The Nieuwe Maas runs through the middle of the city, and to the west the harbour basins cut into the land like the teeth of a comb, one after another, as far as the reclaimed Maasvlakte on the coast. This is one of the largest ports in Europe, and the map shows it plainly.
The centre looks different from most Dutch cities. The bombing of May 1940 destroyed much of the old core, and the rebuilt streets are wider and straighter, with long avenues such as the Coolsingel. South of the river, the Kop van Zuid district sits on former docks, reached by the single angled pylon of the Erasmus Bridge.
A Rotterdam map poster keeps all of this and drops the colour. What is left is a city of rivers, quays and postwar blocks, with the dense residential grids north of the centre giving way to the wide open geometry of the port. Printed in black and white, the difference between the old street pattern and the industrial waterfront is easy to read.

Erasmus Bridge
The bridge crosses the Nieuwe Maas between the centre and Kop van Zuid, a short straight line that ties the two halves of the city together.
Rebuilt centre
After 1940 the heart of the city was laid out again, and its broad avenues and large blocks stand apart from the tighter neighbourhoods around them.

Why Rotterdam
A map that means something
Rotterdam tends to matter to people who have worked, studied or started over there, and the map carries that sense of a city that rebuilt itself. The river running through the frame gives the poster a strong horizontal line that suits a desk, a hallway or a meeting room.
You can change the title, subtitle and coordinates line, so the print can mark a moving date, a first flat or a neighbourhood name. There are five styles, from Classic black and white to Blueprint, which suits a port city particularly well.
