The Lijnbaan, designed by Van den Broek & Bakema architecten, is the main shopping street of Rotterdam. It was opened in 1953, as the main pedestrian street in the new shopping district, after the old one was completely destroyed during the 1940 bombing of Rotterdam. It’s a completely car-free zone and has been a testcase for numerous car-free shopping streets around the world.
