Just like other old cities, Deventer has problems with vacancies and decline in the town centre. In the Bergkwartier historical buildings are already restored in style but in a district like the Noordenbergkwartier there's still a lot to be done. Most of the inhabitants have left and a lot of old houses are bricked up. A large part has been bought up by the city and there are talks with the neighbourhood committies about the nature and size of the new development. SHOTS: view of Deventer from the IJssel; several restored buildings in the Bergkwartier; buildings in the Noordenbergkwartier that are and aren't restored; tracking shot of bricked up houses; demolition in the town.
