The Groothandelsgebouw is the symbol of the reconstruction of Rotterdam.
In the post-war years the Lijnbaan marked a revolution in urban design. Instead of shops with housing above along both sides of a street of traffic, such as Hoogstraat, the Lijnbaan shops lined pedestrian promenades.
The Hoogstraat Shops were three retail buildings opened one after another in quick succession on Hoogstraat.
