This paper gives an overview of the status of the post-war apartment stock in the Netherlands. It starts with an overview of the rebuilding of the housing stock since 1946 in which the progress of the production is recorded and the urban principles are described according to which the multi-family housing neighbourhoods are erected. This survey is followed by a description of the used technologies and typologies in relation to the date of completion and the applicable housing policy. The second part focuses on the problems and shortcomings of the Dutch post-war apartment stock as experienced over the last decade in relation to changes in the demand.
