The narrative for the productive urban area of Velsen is illustrated in this atlas, which is the result of the first quarter of the MSc Urbanism at Delft University of Technology. In this course, we explored the urban area through different means of analysis. The main message of the narrative is that the history of the city and the industry are both socially and spatially intertwined. The city and industry both need and maintain each other. The future of the industry in the area is very uncertain, therefore the atlas concludes with different strategies to heal the scars it will leave. The project was rewarded with a 9/10, futhermore it was selected for presentation in the orange hall at the Faculty of Architecture and the Built Environment.
