The third quarter of the Master Urbanism at the TU Delft is about Spatial strategies for a Global Metropolis. The Metropolis is the Amsterdam Metropolitan Area (AMA) located in the Netherlands.
Cities and populations are growing and the AMA is one of them, at the same time sources are getting scarce. The goal of the government of the Netherlands is to change from a linear economy to a more circular management of limited resources to be less polluting and dependent on exporting countries. This project will answer the question: how to achieve a sustainable management of limited resources in the development of AMA? and propose a vision and strategy to increase the housing stock of the region working with a sustainable framework.
Using a mega event as catalyser to propose initiatives and sustainable principles in the built environment will be a game changer for the region, because of the many investors, stakeholders, businesses, popularity and publicity adjunct to the event.
