Voorwoord/ Foreword
Dear Students,
A warm welcome to Schiedam! We’re looking forward to connect with you and
expand our collaboration that started in 2015 with our visit to Girona at the start
of the Master program Smart Cities at the University of Girona. Working together
on the projects will hopefully lead to innovative and inspiring concepts for the
city Schiedam, generate ideas how to make the city more sustainable, attractive
and how to raise the quality of life in our historical Schiedam.
In this program you will find all the information for next week. Of course the
program is focused on the field study for your projects, but we’ve also included
several fun and relaxing activitities for you during your
stay in Schiedam. For you convinience you’ll find a time
schedule for all meetings, activitities as well as the adresses and contact information for our team and maps of
Schiedam. Since you’re following a master program on
Smart Cities, we’ve thought it would be appropriate not
only to have a paper booklet for you, but also make the
program digitally accesible. You’ll find the program online
here www.schiedam.nl/GironaStudenten
My team and I wish you all the best for next week
and hope you’ll have a interesting week with lots of
learning opportunities and also a lot of fun! We’re
looking forward to seeing the project results later
this year,
Best Regards,
Stefanie Jacobs

Schiedam
Schiedam, a city in the Netherlands with a population of 76,000 is above all wellknown for its Jenever (Gin). The charm of the largest historic town centre in the
Greater Rotterdam Region is less well known, but that very town centre with
canals and the world’s largest windmills makes Schiedam so attractive when you
compare it with Rotterdam or other surrounding municipalities. Schiedam has a
well developed transport infrastructure and is a key transport intersection, which
makes the city easy accessible. A beautiful, vital municipality is our goal, where
everyone feels at home, citizens and visitors. Among our key challenges: creating
a more attractive city centre, support entrepreneurship, support citizens to use
their assets as long as possible, developing the tourism industry (including water
tourism), upgrading industrial & business parks and promoting active citizenship.
History
Schiedam was granted city rights since 1275. At that time it was a busy gateway
to the rest of the Netherlands thanks to its strategic site at the Meuse and Schie
rivers. Schiedam flourished as a trading town. Since 1500 Schiedam has a Jenever
(gin) industry. Once there were 180 distilleries, these days there are just a few but
still successful ones (export of Vodka worldwide for example). From the 19th century the ship building drove the local industry. In the 1970/1980’s most shipyards
went bankrupt because of the competition with low-wage countries in Asia. The
historical centre is based on an old urban design. In the city centre you will find
canals, windmills, monuments, leisure activities & culture and bars, restaurants
and shops.
Location & population
Schiedam is the neighbour of Rotterdam, the largest port in Europe and the
gateway to northwestern Europe. The Hague is 30 km and Amsterdam 70 km
away. Rotterdam The Hague Airport is just right beside Schiedam. Schiedam is
easy accessible by train, metro, bus, tram, bicycle or car being a key interregional
transport hub in the Netherlands. Schiedam has more than 76,000 inhabitants.
Historically Schiedam always offered workforce from other parts of the country a
place to settle. The population is diverse with a multicultural character. In 2014 a
third of the population has a migrant background; more than 150 different nationalities can be found in Schiedam.
Local economy
Schiedam as a medium sized city has a strong local economy. The number of
businesses is 2,700 , mainly trade, transport, building sector, industry. The commercial services sector is also big and still growing. In the last decades the maritime industry returned to Schiedam: ship building, heavy lifting solutions, pipelay
systems and sophisticated cranes on vessels are examples of our offshore industry.
The distributed area of business parks is 300 ha. The total number of jobs is currently 32,000.
Tourism & culture
Owing to the heydays of the Jenever (gin) and shipping industries, Schiedam’s city
centre has a wealth of stories. In fact, it has the biggest historical city centre of the
Greater Rotterdam Region. Built by prosperous distillers, the 225 national monuments in Schiedam have a history you can taste and nostalgia you can feel.
The city centre offers many possibilities for a real voyage of discovery. A city tour
takes you along the harbours, the six highest mills in the world, and distilleries
and malt houses. You can also follow the footsteps of Saint Liduina, one of the
most famous Dutch saints, by admiring her beautiful relics, located in the Liduina
Basilica. The museums, galleries, workshops and specialty shops are definitely
worth a visit. Moreover, throughout the year, the city centre is the backdrop for a
large number of public events and has wonderful parks to settle on. Schiedam can
also be discovered from the water: from April till October you can take a tour by
e-boat on the Schiedam canals. There are also various mooring points for cruises
in the city centre.
The museums of Schiedam tell the story of the city. Relive the olden days in the
old grocer’s shop of the Nationaal Coöperatie Museum or in the Jenevermuseum
Schiedam, where you can still have a sip of old Jenever or corn spirit. In the
Windmill Museum De Nieuwe Palmboom you can see the miller at work and
exhibitions showing the milling history of Schiedam. In the Stedelijk Museum
Schiedam you can enjoy Dutch modern and contemporary art, with Post War
as the main exhibition theme. The museum is located in the restored Sint Jacobs
Gasthuis and has a wonderful permanent collection of over 250 Cobra works.
You will find everything about art, culture, events and the best shops, galleries,
cafés and restaurants at www.sdam.nl where you can plan your ideal itinerary for
the day.
Practical information
For all students there is a OV-chipkaart.
The OV-chipkaart is the payment method
for public transport in the Netherlands. If
you carry an OV-chipkaart with you, you
no longer need to think about tickets. A
credit of € 30 is loaded on the cards.
If you have any questions or need assistance we are happy to help you, of course.
The Municipality has little red bikes for
civil servants (and you) to lend to get
around in town. Remember to lock it,
and that there are no handbrakes, but you
brake by paddeling backwards. Go on,
you can do it!
