What if ...

The future of the Netherlands

 

In this exploratory study on the future of the Netherlands we researched current issues, possibilities an we brainstormed with a group of architects, landscape architects and urban designers. We viewed the social developments, trends and the spatial implementation of these developments towards 2040. Themes such as food, demography, economy, politics, health, mobility, ecology & resources ,housing, happiness, finance and technology where discussed.
