History
The Dapperbuurt was built as a working-class neighbourhood in the late 19th century, based on Amsterdam's extension plan from 1877, by city planner Jan Kalff.{{Cite web |title=Plattegrond van Amsterdam anno 1877 met het uitbreidingsplan van Ir. J. Kalff |url=https://archief.amsterdam/beeldbank/detail/3fab662b-d726-f4cb-f5f7-e5d78e5529b1 |access-date=2023-12-13 |website=archief.amsterdam |language=nl}} The neighbourhood's rectangular design is structured by two axes, the 1e Van Swindenstraat (west-east), which has developed into a shopping street, and the Dapperstraat (north-south), known for the Dappermarkt. The neighbourhood has been home to many socialist workers. A significant part of its Jewish residents were deported during WWII.{{Cite book |last=Schravendeel |first=Rogier |title=Herdenkingsboek Joodse Dapperbuurt |publisher=Herdenkingsboeken Joods Amsterdam Oost |year=2023 |isbn=9789059089204}} In the post-war period, the living conditions in the neighbourhood deteriorated. By the end of the 1960s, an urban renewal plan was made for Dapperbuurt, but it implied that many residents had to move. An action committee was established, De Sterke Arm (The Strong Arm), which requested that residents could return to the neighbourhood once the new houses had been built, and that rents would be affordable.{{Cite web |title=Documentatie Dapperbuurt |url=https://search.iisg.amsterdam/Record/ARCH01879 |access-date=2023-12-13 |website=search.iisg.amsterdam |language=Dutch}} As such, the Dapperbuurt set an example for the renewal of other neighbourhoods in Amsterdam and other Dutch cities, largely helped by the film De Dapperbuurt (Amsterdams Stadsjournaal, 1975).De Dapperbuurt (Amsterdams Stadsjournaal 6, 1975, 22 minutes), 20007 Collectie Amsterdams Stadsjournaal: films (110001040), Amsterdams Stadsarchief. https://archief.amsterdam/inventarissen/details/20007/keywords/amsterdams%20stadsjournaal{{Neighborhoods of Amsterdam}}
