Westpoort (also known as Westelijk Havengebied) is a neighborhood located in Amsterdam's Northwest neighborhood and covering 28.99 square kilometers. Situated south of Noordzeekanaal, it serves as an industrial and commercial center, featuring approximately 1700 companies with 45,000 workers within its boundaries and the Netherlands' largest continuous business area - Westpoort is part of Amsterdam Port which handles 86.7 million tons annually in cargo volume alone!
Westpoort stands out as an unusual Amsterdam neighborhood due to its history and governance structure; it never had its own local government or council and falls directly under the jurisdiction of city government. In 2015, however, it was reorganized with eastern parts falling under Nieuw-West district administration while western parts remained under West District jurisdiction.
Westpoort is predominantly a business and industrial area, yet also features Ruigoord Village and Amsterdamse Golf Club. Unfortunately, its lack of residential areas limits its population to just 145 residents; however, nearby neighborhoods of Sloterdijk and Bedrijventerrein Sloterdijk offer housing solutions for those working nearby.
