Abstract:

Rotterdam, as an architectural city, attracts a great deal of internation-al interest. Each metres of the city centre offers a complete overview of what the twentieth century has produced in terms of modern arcchitecture. Most seen examples of pre-war architecture has been included in the Van Nelle Factory and the Huis Sonneveld. After the war the innovative and adventurous period is expressed in such structures as the Groothan-delsgebouw, the Cube houses, the Kunsthal, the Luxor Theatre and the Erasmus Bridge. Botri special-ists and interested visitors can easily find what they are looking for in Rotterdam. On the other hand Rotterdam has disadvantages because of his devolopment process. This thesis will examine the urban space historically and cross-culturally. In this context, I would like to discuss the economical, cultural, and political importance of Rotterdam. Also, I would like to examine forces such as industrialization, decentralization, and suburbanization can affect the structure and function of this city. I will discuss classic theories and recent discourse in urban situation of Rotterdam as we look to answer this questions , "how and why Rotterdam develops and changes, and What are the facts to improve to city life, how can we improve the quality of city by using the existing values?"

We will pay attention to the impact of race, ethnicity, and class on urban communities. At the end of this thesis, I will appreciate if we will have a better understanding of the significant role of metropolis for the life.
