The Hello Bridge is bridging an old neighborhood with a new urban development. This new project provides for a parc open to the entire neighborhood. It is on top of the parking garage, so people will have to climb a steep stairs in order to access. This bridge solves this problem for people who cannot climb the stairs. At the same time it creates a very special public space where people, strangers or not, encounter eachother and say hello.

The Hallo Brug is now being crowdfunded on Voordekunst.nl

Please contribute if you believe in inclusive cities!

The app offers users a simple, yet effective way to manage their household waste more efficiently, as well as making sure the surrounding areas of their neighbourhood comply with waste management regulations too. Available on Google Play and Apple Store.

Labour Games is a European project in which we explore the possibilities of working with games and data in the field of labour. One of the highlights of the project is the game jam om 23 and 24 november in Amsterdam, where we will work on game prototypes. After this one or two games will be developed.

LABOURGAMES core element is a series of four GAME JAMS in the participating countries throughout 2017. These will develop 40 preliminary ideas for games. At least four of these game ideas will be part of a professional development process leading to four actual game products. In order to generate a broad impact, the games will then be played and tested at ANCHOR EVENTS in 2018, such as Game Festivals, Youth Gatherings of Trade Unions or professional fora.

Furthermore, an UN-CONFERENCE in Berlin in December 2016 and a RELEASE CONFERENCE in Rome in April 2019 will conclude the project.

At the end of each year. The accounts of Waternet will by updated with the most recent waterconsumption status. If consumers fail or forget to pass trough these status. They will get a incorrect invoice which leads to a correction and a big loss of time. PostNL helped 35% of the individuals who did not pass the waterconsumption status in zip codes 1091 to 1095 by letting the postman register it.

How Does Indoor Air Quality Impact Children's Health and School Performance?

The classroom is often overlooked when it comes to indoor air quality. Problems with heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems, known as HVAC systems can trigger a host of health problems and reduce school performance. SensorTeam is developing a smart IoT device and cloud tool that helps analyse the air in schools and shows how the indoor environment influences children's health and performance.

SensorTeam’s IoT indoor climate sensor, currently placed in a classroom on a primairy school in Amsterdam West, autonomously sends temperature, humidity, CO2 , light and motion measurement data to a cloud dashboard (internet), which provides real-time insights to teachers, parents and school management.

Data is sent using LoRa wireless network technology provided by KPN en Simpoint. This means that SensorTeam’s sensors do not need any existing network infrastructure or power.

The example below shows SensorTeam's cloud dashboard.

Almost half of the citizens of Amsterdam is lonely. Therefore, Amsterdam has set up a network of stakeholders who want to fight loneliness. Cordaan and PostNL are part of this network. We see many activities that are already organized for people, that can help them to deal with loneliness. Cordaan, for instance, organizes daily activities for seniors. However, citizens are not always familiar with the possibilities to get help and the activities that are organized for them in their own neighborhoods. Only people who actively seek help themselves or get help via their general practitioner or family now profit from the help organized by welfare organizations.

To increase awareness about these activities and possibilities, and eventually increase participation, Cordaan and PostNL work together in a new experiment. This experiment is one of the 39 out of 116 experiments selected by the municipality to decrease loneliness in Amsterdam. Cordaan and PostNL will focus on lonely seniors. Cordaan will make a selection of addresses of possibly interested senior citizens in Banne Buiksloot in Amsterdam Noord and will inform them about the experiment by mail. A week later, the mailmen will ring the doorbell and ask questions such as: ‘Do you know about the activities organized for you in your neighborhood?’; ‘Would you like to participate in these activities?’; ‘Would you like to talk about the activities and possibilities with an employee of Cordaan?’. If the last question is answered with a ‘Yes’, an employee of Cordaan will make an appointment with the senior to determine which activities or what help would be suitable for that individual person.

PostNL investigates how it can react on a changing society by investigating new ways to leverage it’s network, with over 20.000 mailmen. This new role for the mailmen holds numerous advantages. The mailmen are well-know in the neighborhood and work for a trusted brand. Therefore, we believe people will be more inclined to answer their questions at the door, than they would be if the person at the door were a complete stranger. In addition, the mailmen are not affiliated with a healthcare or welfare organization, and can start a conversation from a more neutral perspective. Therefore, with this cooperation between Cordaan and PostNL, we hope to reach more seniors who would benefit from the activities and possibilities in the neighborhood. Eventually, we hope to decrease loneliness of senior citizens by increasing their network in the neighborhood and their participation in that network.

One of the main goals is to create a network and help people in the neighbourhood to make business, shop and collaborate on a hyperlocal level.

One of the first step towards creating a sustainable community of entrepreneurs, freelances and locals is 'De Groenste Dag van Noord', taking place on the 8th of October.

Litter Pollution is a huge threat to our planet. 8 Million Tonnes of rubbish are getting into our Rivers and Oceans every year and 80% of the Oceans pollution comes from land. This is having a devastating effect on Wildlife and Marine life who get tangled up in litter or ingest rubbish thinking it is food and end up starving to death as their passageways are blocked.

There are over One Billion wheelie bins in use worldwide, securing these would Massively reduce the amount of unnecessary litter in our environment and oceans!
