The Dichterswijk neighbourhood
Dichterswijk has gone through a visible transformation, with new buildings replacing what was once a more troubled area. One resident, TopBoy28, describes it this way: "This neighbourhood used to be a deprived area with many problems. Now a lot of new buildings have been built. But behind the walls of the houses, there are still problems. Apart from that, there are many racists living here. The neighbourhood has been nicely renovated and looks better than before." The same resident adds that schools have been renovated for the little children. This is based on a single review, so it reflects one person's perspective. The area is densely populated, with many single-person households and a large share of residents in their twenties and thirties. The Dichterswijk neighbourhood is clearly a place in transition, with a mix of old and new.
