The Charlois district in Rotterdam is home to the small Wielewaal neighborhood. The neighborhood, which was built in 1949 as a way to relieve housing shortages following World War II and is similar to Amsterdam's Vogeldorp, closely resembles the former. Wielewaal lies between the Kromme Zandweg to the north, Schulpweg to the west, Korperweg to the south and Groene Kruisweg on the east. The neighborhood consists of 20 streets with a total 545 houses. Most of them are one-story. Wielewaal, with its beautiful weather and picturesque scenery, has an appearance of a holiday village.
The houses in Wielewaal had not been well maintained and were only meant to last around 25 years. Rotterdam's municipality planned to demolish the houses by 2015. Residents came up with an idea to preserve the uniqueness of the neighborhood. They decided to replace the existing houses by new ones, on the exact same footprint. In 2016, some residents left, and every abandoned house was sealed. The residents who remained started the campaign "Wielewaalers don't give up on housing city" (Wielewaalers don't give up on housing city). The name Wielewaal is not a reference to the bird with the same name but rather to the nearby Waal ponds and Wiel ponds, which were formed by medieval dike breaching.
