Along the historical line of the old city wall of Dodrecht new developments will create a lively public connection around the old city-centre stretching from the new developments ‘het Maasterras’ to the ‘Stadswerven’. By densification, greening the streets and using new ways to activate the canal, the ‘Vestingsring’ contributes to the maritine identity of Dordrecht while making the city-centre more attractive and livable.
