From the introduction:
"Constructed on a mostly manmade landscape, the Netherlands has, fundamentally, always been about design. Amsterdam, like Venice, is a marvel of imagination atop a warren of ancient canals. Unlike its Italian counterpart, however, it is an evolving metropolis and not a bejewelled museum piece. The government is taming the beasts – sex, drugs and rock ’n’ roll – that made this place so infamous and rebranding the capital, and the coffeehouses and neon windows are being replaced by high-end restaurants and boutiques."
