The Genius Plan to Change Amsterdam

Maps are provided by the wonderful Maptiler, and the overlays come from the Amsterdam map website, where the government provides really nice data.

This is a video on Amsterdam's Omgevingsvisie 2050. Dutch municipalities in the Netherlands pass omgevingsvisie as guiding documents, not binding, but it gives a good indication of where a city would like to head over the next couple of decades. For Amsterdam it seems like it’s rigorous greenification, increased mobility, growth within constraints, etc.

Basically the entire video is based on a few documents:

One, the omgevingsvisie:

Two, the history of green wedges:
