Amsterdam is set to relocate its iconic Red Light District from De Wallen to Europaboulevard, marking a significant shift in the city's approach to sex work and urban development.

This move aims to create a more structured and safe environment for sex workers while addressing concerns about over-tourism and its impact on local communities. We analyzed available data online to understand the hottest topics from affected groups.

<strong>See data insights on Playground Journal. Or listen to a short 5-minute podcast on this here.</strong>

This is your opportunity to engage in the conversation. Your insights and opinions matter in shaping a future that respects the city’s rich history while addressing the challenges and hopes of its diverse inhabitants.

The significance of this relocation lies in its potential to reshape Amsterdam's cultural and social landscape. It reflects the city's commitment to balancing the needs of residents, tourists, and sex workers, ensuring that the new Erotic Centre aligns with contemporary values while preserving the district's historical essence.

As this transformation unfolds, community input is vital. Residents, business owners, and other stakeholders are encouraged to contribute their thoughts and ideas to help shape the future of the new Red Light District. Your insights can influence the new facility's design, amenities, and safety features.

While communities can influence many aspects—such as building design, types of amenities, and community engagement processes—certain elements are fixed. The location of the new RLD has already been determined, as are existing laws and regulations governing sex work. Additionally, the core concept of the Erotic Centre and project timelines remain unchanged.

Let’s ensure that the new Red Light District reflects the values and aspirations of all who call Amsterdam home. Your voice matters!

If you're working on system change, you will face plenty of uncertainty and polarisation. The outcome is also unpredictable: we're working on a different future, but we don't know exactly what that will look like. And systems change requires an integrated approach, as different aspects - from technology to politics - have to change simultaneously. So in transitions, merely setting and hitting targets won't do.

This 3-day, Dutch-language course introduces you to valuable knowledge, tools and approaches, aimed at learning and adapting in transitions – for all transition makers who want to improve their monitoring game. It's taught by Barbara van Mierlo, associate professor at Wageningen University & Research and a founder of the methodology 'Reflexive Monitoring in Action' as well as PJ Beers, senior researcher at DRIFT and lecturer at HAS Green Academy.

Sign-up for 2025 is now open.
