Zuidplein is a major public transportation hub with one of the largest bus stations in the Netherlands. In recent years, the surrounding area (also known as the Hart van Zuid) has undergone significant changes through new construction and revitalization of public spaces. The namesake shopping center celebrated its 50th anniversary in 2022 and underwent extensive renovations. Rotterdammers and visitors from the region have been coming here for decades to shop and enjoy dining.
On the rooftop of Winkelcentrum Zuidplein, there is a vast space equivalent to six soccer fields at various heights. The rooftop feels like a disorienting moonscape with climate cabinets and small buildings.
Rotterdamse Dakendagen transformed the rooftop of Winkelcentrum Zuidplein into an art park in 2023. An astonishing 1-kilometer route on the rooftop features a bright yellow path, showcasing artwork by 42 artists inspired by stories from the neighborhoods of Rotterdam-Zuid.
