It's labeled "the turning point for Dutch cycling" but actually the video is almost entirely about the fight against urban renewal in a neighborhood of Amsterdam. It's right around the same time period that Boston was fighting the Southwest Corridor and Inner Belt. A radical community activist group in de Nieuwmarkt fought against a plan to build a combination highway/subway through the neighborhood, which apparently entailed tearing down a large number of buildings (seen above). I guess they hadn't heard of the New Austrian Tunneling Method yet.
They were unsuccessful in "saving" the neighborhood as it was, but they did stop the highway part, which was replaced by a subway-only plan, like here. And in the course of it, they convinced the government to adopt a reconstruction plan that would replace the lost buildings with a similar kind of urban fabric. That's where Boston diverges; we still have an open, festering wound, decades later.
I think this video will be very interesting to anyone who cares about the history of urban renewal and its outcomes. It's also a nice little reminder that Dutch cities went through many of the same tragedies in the mid-20th century that we did. Maybe worse in some ways. There's an overtone of "democracy vs the neighborhood" running throughout. The central planners saw themselves as representing a democratic decision. And based on that ideal, they saw it fit to send in the police to pummel the people.
