Additional Information on Expat Life in Rotterdam

The city of Rotterdam is a modern, multicultural city, characterized by city planners' decision to replace traditional Dutch-style architecture destroyed in the Second World War with new developments which have given the city its unique style. The city's current wave of urban development focuses on increasing housing and the creation of more child-friendly spaces around the city center, as well as shopping, entertainment, and cultural developments such as the Binnenrotte around Market Hall, Coolsingel, and Grote Kerkplein. Many expats choose to live in the center of the city where many good international schools are located, or in the greener suburbs nearby. Rotterdam remains as ever the center of the Netherlands' shipping industry, and these days is also home to well-known company headquarters and major employers including Unilever, Glencore, and Pfizer.
