The KNSM Island is a man-made island in the Eastern Docklands of Amsterdam. It is named for the Koninklijke Nederlandsche Stoomboot-Maatschappij (KNSM), the Royal Dutch Steamboat Shipping company which used to have its headquarters and its docks on the island. It is now a large residential area containing modern architecture with a mostly well-off population.

Python Bridge, officially known as High Bridge (Hoge Brug), is a bridge that spans the canal between Sporenburg and Borneo Island in Eastern Docklands, Amsterdam. It was built in 2001 and won the International Footbridge Award in 2002. The bright red bridge spans 90 meters and was designed by Adriaan Geuze of the architectural firm West 8. The bridge only carries pedestrians. The visually similar Lage Brug (Low bridge) is nearby. It is similar but without the high elevation, which allows cyclists to ride over it.

Industrial Monument is a work of art located in Amsterdam-Oost. It consists of a former railway platform with an overseer's house and a wagon. The monument is a creation by (Atelier) Joep van Lieshout and is installed in the public space on Cruquiusweg in the Eastern Docklands. The monument came about thanks to the East Docklands Art Working Group, which asked the artist to create an artwork from a dilapidated freight wagon as a tribute to the industrial past of the area (which was once crisscrossed with train tracks and included a cleaning station), particularly the abattoir. Van Lieshout then noticed the similarly dilapidated overseer's house on an old platform between the tracks. Although it was slated for demolition, Van Lieshout decided to restore the house to its original state and declare it a monument, as a protest against the renewal frenzy of humanity, the Dutch, and the Amsterdammers in particular. (Het Parool, 09-08-2017). Upon completion, it turned out that Van Lieshout had focused all his energy on the overseer's house, leaving the freight wagon unchanged. Not everyone realized that the two objects (the train set and the house) were meant to form a single entity. This became evident when fellow artist Ronald van der Meijs was asked in 2008 to refurbish the wagon. He added a container made of jute bags, symbolizing the transition from traditional freight transport to the shipping container, one of the reasons why this port area, which was not suitable for container transport, fell into disuse. In 2008, the overseer's house was repurposed as an exhibition space and was named Museum Perron Oost in 2013, the smallest museum in the world. The objects are part of a historical route through Amsterdam-Oost (art, architecture, objects). Het Parool reported on August 9, 2017, in a section by Sophia Zürcher, that this Industrial Monument hardly fits within Joep van Lieshout's broader oeuvre, standing out significantly from his other works.

The Common Fund for Commodities (CFC) is an intergovernmental financial institution established within the framework of the United Nations. It is a vestige of the proposed New International Economic Order. The CFC finances commodity development projects in developing states. The CFC was established in 1989. It was set up by a 1980 multilateral treaty known as the Agreement establishing the Common Fund for Commodities. As of June 2017, there are 110 parties to the Agreement and thus to the CFC. This total includes 101 UN member states plus 9 intergovernmental organizations: the Andean Community, the African Union, the Caribbean Community, the Common Market for Eastern and Southern Africa, the East African Community, the European Union, the Economic Community of West African States, the Southern African Development Community and the West African Economic and Monetary Union. Members that have joined but then withdrawn from the CFC include Australia, Austria, Belgium, Canada, Japan, Luxembourg, New Zealand, Turkey, and the Eurasian Economic Community. The United States of America has not been a member of the fund.

Indische Buurt ("Indies Neighborhood") is a neighborhood in the borough of Oost, the eastern part of the city of Amsterdam, Netherlands. The name of the neighborhood dates from the early 20th century, and is derived from the fact that the neighborhood's streets are named after islands and other geographical concepts in the former Dutch colony of the Dutch East Indies or now known as Indonesia. The first street was named in 1902. In 2003, the neighborhood had around 23,000 inhabitants. The neighborhood is bounded on the west by the railroad Amsterdam - Hilversum (with the Muiderpoort Station), on the east side by Flevopark, on the north side by Zeeburgerdijk and on the south side by the Ringvaart Watergraafsmeer. Indische Buurt is the oldest part of the former Zeeburg district and is very ethnically diverse. A high percentage of the population is of immigrant origin (for Zeeburg this is already high at 55%, but higher in the Indische Buurt) and there are an estimated 100 languages spoken.

The Eastern Docklands (Dutch: Oostelijk Havengebied) is a neighborhood of Amsterdam, Netherlands, located between the IJ and the Amsterdam–Rhine Canal in the borough of Amsterdam-Oost. The harbor area was constructed in the late nineteenth century to allow for increasing trade with the Dutch East Indies; a new location was necessitated by the construction of the Amsterdam Centraal railway station, which replaced the old quays. East of the new station was a marshy area called De Rietlanden, with the Zeeburgerdijk (then called Sint Antoniesdijk), running via the Zeeburch, a fort, to the Zuiderzee. The neighborhood consists of the districts: KNSM Island, Java-eiland, Oostelijke Handelskade, Cruquiuseiland, Borneo-eiland and Sporenburg.The area, about 2/3 water and 1/3 land, consists of an extension of the Oostelijke Handelskade, east of the center of town, and four artificial "islands" (peninsulas), all of which were former industrial and harbor locations of the port of Amsterdam. In the early 2000s, after a large-scale reorganization, the city's biggest post-World War II building project, the Eastern Docklands was de-industrialized and became home to some 17,000 people living in some the highest population densities in the Netherlands.
