Thanks for the mention, @cornelia !
@timruijters , at Green City Buzz we're showcasing how we can future-proof the existing built environment, through greening, sustainability and placemaking. We've started with a two-year project in central Amsterdam, with strategic greening as a first step. Do get in touch if you'd like to know more about our project!

Good morning everyone,
we are following and are in contact with Daniel and his team. It's really amazing and inspiring to see London becoming the first National Park City. Last year we simultaneously walked with him our own #walkaroundAmsterdam? Why: https://www.naturedesks.com/news-notes/2018/1/28/urban-green-the-urgency-factor.

But he is coming to tell his story to the Netherlands.

• on 15th of May he'll be one of the sperkers at PINC conferences: http://www.pincexperience.com/speaker/daniel-raven-ellison.
• on May the 16th he'll be our guest in Amsterdam. More details about the event we are preparing these days will be announced soon.

Wauw! Good to read that there are already a lot of initiatives. Is it possible to participate in these initiatives online? If yes, what help do you need?

Hi @timruijters ,
Park om de hoek (by De gezonde stad) is working on this: https://amsterdamsmartcity.com/projects/park-om-de-hoek
And check out the Knowledge Mile! https://amsterdamsmartcity.com/posts/amsterdams-smartest-street
Also, Niek Bosch and Geertje Wijten are the people to talk to within the municipality. They are not community members here, but I've send you an email with their info!

Hi Tim, you might be interested in Amsterdam's Green Agenda, with €20 million in Green Funds allocated for the 2015-2018 period. The summary and infographic are available in English! https://www.amsterdam.nl/bestuur-organisatie/volg-beleid/agenda-groen/
You might also like to connect with Green City Buzz - perhaps @charleysnoek can give you more information about their initiatives!

Great initiative in London.
I found this also quite inspiring https://amsterdamsmartcity.com/posts/the-green-dip
Any concrete ideas how to make Amsterdam more green?
