Category talk:Reconstruction in the Netherlands after World War II
What is this category about?
[edit]I see a lot of buildings in this category which were newly build, modern buildings, on a location without any buildings previously, let alone damaged in WWII. Or are all buildings that were build after WWII until 1960 (or even later) "Reconstruction in the Netherlands after World War II"? I don't think so. In Wikipedia's lemma Wederopbouw I read: Tijdens de oorlog was veel infrastructuur, zoals bruggen, wegen en spoorwegen vernield. Ook waren huizen, fabrieken en gebouwen vernietigd of beschadigd. Door een vereniging van krachten en beschikbare hulp van onder andere het Marshallplan, werd Nederland weer opgebouwd. De wederopbouw vond ruwweg tussen 1940 en 1958 plaats. So, I would like to limit this category to just that: reconstruction of damaged or destroyed infrastructure and buildings, including plans to do so, and other things that were necessery for really reconstruct the Netherlands after WWII (like the "Tientje van Lieftinck"). But NOT: extensions of cities, completely new neighborhoods. They were part of independent urban growth after WWII, not of reconstruction. So I think we should make a difference between real reconstruction and completely newly build. Perhaps we should make a category for this independent urban growth after WWII. Any suggestions?
