Amsterdam Green Infrastructure Vision 2050 a Liveable City for People, Plants, and Animals Amsterdam Green Infrastructure Vision 2050 A liveable city for people, plants, and animals Amsterdam Green Infrastructure Vision 2050 A liveable city for people, plants, and animals Foreword For many of Amsterdam’s residents, green spaces are of great value. Some people value being close to nature, while others simply love to relax in a park or have the opportunity to exercise and play outside. In some neighbourhoods, green areas are places for gathering and collective food production. At the same time, these spaces are home to the wildlife of the city. Green infrastructure is important for a pleasant and healthy living environment and it is essential to protect the city against increasing droughts, heat waves, and extreme rainfall. Green space is of vital importance for the city of Amsterdam. In a growing and densifying city where housing is in high demand and public space serves as our backyard, the creation, preservation, and maintenance of green spaces deserves our attention in order to guarantee that we can all continue to enjoy them. In this Green Infrastructure Vision there is increased focus on making green spaces more accessible. Green spaces contribute to a happy, healthy life and everybody should be able to enjoy green areas close to their home. Small parks, nature strips, trees around houses – places where on hot days everyone can take a break in the shade and benefit from the cooling effects of plants and trees. A short bike ride away, every resident should be able to reach one of the many city parks, an urban forest, or the surrounding landscape. We also envision a new urban forest to significantly increase the number of trees and wildlife habitats in Amsterdam. We also must not forget to include vegetation on and around buildings. A concrete city is an unliveable city. There are so many opportunities on roofs and façades, as well as in private gardens and yards. With more plants and trees, we can create a more beautiful, healthier, and cooler city with lots of opportunities for wildlife to thrive, thus ensuring greater biodiversity. With this vision for Amsterdam’s green infrastructure, I want to ensure a good balance between plants and bricks, nature and leisure, people and animals. I hope that business owners, schools, developers, and Amsterdam citizens will be inspired to partake in the greening of the city. May all our efforts lead to a city in 2050 where all Amsterdam citizens – people, plants, and animals – can lead a good life.

Zelfbouw als ontwikkelingsstrategie en de Bewegende Stad als richtlijn voor de inrichting van de openbare ruimte creëren hier een vernieuwend stedelijk woonmilieu. Naast deze ambities kiest de gemeente Amsterdam ervoor om het eiland energieneutraal en rainproof te ontwikkelen. Na de vaststelling van het stedenbouwkundig plan worden in 2016 de eerste zelfbouwkavels uitgegeven. Het ontwerp van de openbare ruimte, de uitvoering van waterkeringen en het gebruik van het nieuwe land voor tijdelijke functies zijn al in 2015 begonnen. De komende jaren wordt het eiland stapsgewijs ontwikkeld, met de hoofdambities uit dit plan als leidraad. Daarnaast biedt het plan ruimte voor aanpassingen in de uitwerking. Inhoudsopgave 11.

This paper is devoted to the incremental change of green spaces—a fate that is largely undetectable by urban residents. The paper elucidates a set of drivers resulting in the subtle loss of urban green spaces and elaborates on the consequences of this for resilience planning of ecosystem services. Incremental changes of greenspace trigger baseline shifts, where each generation of humans tends to take the current condition of an ecosystem as the normal state, disregarding its previous states. Even well-intended political land-use decisions, such as current privatization schemes, can cumulatively result in undesirable societal outcomes, leading to a gradual loss of opportunities for nature experience. Alfred E. Kahn referred to such decision making as ‘the tyranny of small decisions.’ This is mirrored in urban planning as problems that are dealt with in an ad hoc manner with no officially formulated vision for long-term spatial planning.
