Slotermeer
Slotermeer is a neighborhood of Amsterdam, Netherlands located in West. 
After the adoption of the General Expansion Plan (AUP) of 1935, the plan for the Slotermeer district was established in 1939 as the first elaboration. The name is taken from the former Slootermeer that was drained in 1644. Since then, the Sloterdijkermeerpolder has been located here, which was excavated into Sloterplas between 1948 and 1956.
The construction of Slotermeer was delayed by more than ten years as a result of the Second World War. The first pile was driven on December 1, 1951. In the autumn of 1952, the first homes could be taken into use. On October 7, 1952, the first Amsterdam Garden City outside the Ringspoorbaan was opened by Queen Juliana.

In the autumn of 1952, the first homes could be taken into use. On October 7, 1952, the first Amsterdam Garden City outside the Ringspoorbaan was opened by Queen Juliana.
Part of Slotermeer was designated a protected cityscape in 2007 by the City District Board, the 'Van Eesteren Museum'. Nevertheless, in 2009 it was decided to proceed to large-scale demolition in Slotermeer-Noord and Slotermeer-Zuid in the context of urban renewal. In 2014, Slotermeer of the Western Garden Cities is the garden city that is still in its most original state, with the design as built in the 1950s.

In the first years, the district had a tram connection to the center with a stop along the Amsterdam - Haarlem - Zandvoort tram line at the Uitweg, later the Burgemeester de Vlugtlaan. On September 1, 1957, the tram was replaced by a bus service (line 80). In September 1954, tram line 13 was the first Amsterdam tram line to be extended outside the Ringspoordijk from the Bos en Lommerplein to Slotermeer. The tram got its terminus at the end of Slotermeerlaan, at the Sloterpark. In 1974 line 13 was extended to Geuzenveld and the last stretch to Sloterplas was canceled. In 1989, line 13 was moved over the new route via Jan van Galenstraat - Burgemeester Röellstraat. The abandoned route was taken over by tram line 14. Since 2004, tram line 7 has also been added. On July 22, 2018, line 14 disappeared from Slotermeer.
