Update from an Amsterdam resident: NDSM is no longer considerd. The plan has no support. The sexworkers already stated that they dont want to move from the wallen and stated many concerns, the police has stated they can't garantee safty, the surounding businesses stated they will oppose this plan and there are the NIMBY's. The parties in support on the city council stated they want to reconsider there support for the plan.

My Dutch friend: “For the last time, there is more to my country than weed and prostitution!!”

I feel like they're missing a massive opportunity of making it a giant phallus.

"most advanced" + "Commissioned by the government" + "brothel"

The 3D animations and models are so well done. 4:15 is almost beautiful, watching the rooms float away like sky lanterns.

The presentation of the building is so well executed that it looked like a black mirror episode. Terrifying.

I've been to Amsterdam twice and it's charm is in how beautiful the city is, how easy it is to wander around by walking or riding a bike. While going out at night the walks or bike rides from bar to bar are a breath of fresh air for those used to just staying at a bar all night. If the city centralizes the night life it will lose that charm of having the entire city center be like one huge party that takes place in such a beautiful city

Among Dutch sexuality scholars the idea is mostly dubbed the "prostitute prison", as centralising prostitution either forces prostitution underground when crime prevention is enforced, or creates an inescapable spiral of sex trafficking when not. It is the worst way of dealing with prostitution the Amsterdam government has ever tried.

Stayed in Bos en Lommer a few weeks ago, I'm not sure what the locals think of the area, but honestly I found it much nicer than the centre, not because of its architecture or points of interest, but because there was far less stag/hen parties and far less tourists in general, I can't imagine what it must be like to live in the centre and constantly have all that going on around you.

i've been to amsterdam once, it's crazy. i feel like at least 90% of tourists don't go more than 1km away from the central train station

I was so immersed in the visuals I had to rewatch some bits, and looking at the comments I'm glad other people have pointed it out, it's really well done!!! It makes me want to pick up Blender again haha

The visual quality, along with the content, is simply stunning
