Amsterdam-Oost is a borough of Amsterdam, Netherlands, established in May 2010 after a merger of the former boroughs of Zeeburg and Oost-Watergraafsmeer.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=District of Oost )〕 In 2013, the borough had almost 123,000 inhabitants. ==History== Amsterdam-Oost is the borough of Amsterdam on the eastern side of the Singelgracht canal. The borough is bordered by the Amstel river in the west, the ''Weespertrekvaart'' canal in the south, and the IJ lake in the east and north. The eastern city expansion beyond the 17th-century Amsterdam canal belt began in the last quarter of the 19th century with the development of the Oosterparkbuurt and Dapperbuurt. These neighborhoods, including the Weesperzijde area along the Amstel river, are called ''Oud-Oost'' ('Old East'). In the early 20th century, additional urban expansions were planned in eastern direction. Between 1920 and 1940, the Indische Buurt and Transvaalbuurt neighborhoods were constructed, partly on the territory of the former municipality of Nieuwer-Amstel. To improve the accessibility of these new neighborhoods, a railway project known as ''Spoorwegwerken Oost'' ('Eastern Railway Works') was carried out between 1932 and 1942 in which the old ground level railroads were elevated on embankments and viaducts. In addition, the former ''Weesperpoortstation'' (1843) was closed on October 15, 1939, to be replaced by the Amsterdam Amstel railway station. The railway works also allowed for the extension of several tram routes. From 1939 to 1942, further urban expansion projects were carried out in the former municipality of Watergraafsmeer, which was annexed by the city of Amsterdam in 1921. In the 1990s, the new neighborhoods were added in the ''Oostelijk Havengebied'' ('Eastern Docklands') area. Since 2002, the new neighborhood of IJburg, initially also called ''Nieuw-Oost'' ('New East') is under construction. The ''Zeeburgereiland'' is also to be developed for residential purposes. In March 2007, the Transvaalbuurt and parts of the Indische Buurt were marked ''aandachtswijk'' (disadvantaged neighborhood) by minister for housing Ella Vogelaar which made national urban renewal funds and programmes available to the area. In 2007, construction of the Oostpoort shopping centre and residential area on the site of the former ''Oostergasfabriek'' began, which has also become home of the ''Stadsdeelkantoor''(borough or 'district' office) and several educational institutions. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Amsterdam-Oost」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
