Red Light District will be cleaned up?

Amsterdam’s famous Red Light District to be cleaned up.

Plans to upgrade the 750-year-old neighborhood over the next ten years include banning window prostitution. By closing most of the windows the city hopes to curtail both human trafficking and the white-washing of money by criminal gangs.

According to Els Iping, window prosititution will allowed only in the direct vicinity of the Oude Nieuwstraat and the Oudezijds Achterburgwal — and then only under strict new rules.
