Looking for Landvestors We have looked for diverse practices in The Netherlands and abroad, not to copy, but to discuss and learn from designers, landscape planners, entrepreneurs and financial or legal experts. Several people in the Deltametropolis Association network have suggested cases for the research. Three questions have guided the selection and quick scan of the cases:
Of each case, we have gathered some basic information regarding surface area, type of landscape, investment model, timeline, stakeholders and their intrinsic motivations. In interviews we obtained additional in-depth information. The 12 cases are presented in three categories of financing: Donations, Crowd funding and Business Models. We have mapped their operations in the landscape, graphically represented their financial models, looked at their timelines, studied the stakeholders as well as their narratives and ambitions. For each case we summed up lessons learned and potential to scale up in the Netherlands. The material is presented and compared as concise, transparent and visually as possible in the following chapters.
Which forms of financing are relevant for the Dutch context? How do the funding mechanisms work and how can Dutch stakeholders start to use them? And how does our relationship with the landscape change, when we pay for it privately instead of collectively?
