The Neth­er­lands are inter­na­tion­ally renowned for their approach to sus­tain­able urban liv­ing. Sus­tain­ab­il­ity in Hol­land is not so much focussed on tech­no­lo­gical solu­tions, but rather on low-cost, high-impact strategies. Major points of atten­tion in urban plan­ning are social infra­struc­ture, dens­i­fic­a­tion, bike traffic and pub­lic transport.

A char­ac­ter­istic of all Dutch pro­jects is the cre­at­ive mind­set and open­ness to unusual, innov­at­ive solu­tions. This can be seen in a large vari­ety of pro­ject types, from brown­field and har­bour con­ver­sions to bottom-up ini­ti­at­ives, climate-proof neigh­bour­hoods and play­grounds made from recycled material.
