The Electricity fabric (2)


Do you remember this post? Yesterday I found out what the renovation project looks like, it is currently presented in the Town Hall. This project is not definitive yet, and anybody can still propose his own ideas on. It is expected that the area has the potential to grow into a creative and cultural breeding ground, with studios and workshops for artists and creative enterprises.

This project is part of the new "Spatial Development Strategy" of the Hague that focuses on the theme of The Hague as an international city (Global City by the Sea is the motto of the Council House).

Electricity fabric


It is always very strange to drive around in the city and suddenly see emerging in front of you a big electricity fabric. This one, built in 1904 stands in De Constant Rebecquestraat, in the Regentessekwartier . The canal was digged in 1889 to allow the waters from the city centre to go all the way to Scheveningen. At the time, it stood in the middle of a big industrial area, but has now become a residential area....with industrial land being changed into a park / sport complex (de Verademing).
