The Genius Plan to Change Amsterdam

Maps are provided by the wonderful Maptiler, and the overlays come from the Amsterdam map website, where the government provides really nice data.
This is a video on Amsterdam's Omgevingsvisie 2050. Dutch municipalities in the Netherlands pass omgevingsvisie as guiding documents, not binding, but it gives a good indication of where a city would like to head over the next couple of decades. For Amsterdam it seems like it’s rigorous greenification, increased mobility, growth within constraints, etc.
Basically the entire video is based on a few documents:
One, the omgevingsvisie:
amsterdam2050.nl/
Two, the history of green wedges:
www.bol.com/nl/nl/p/green-wed...
Three, Amsterdam's Overall Extension:
www.bol.com/nl/nl/p/de-nieuwe...
Four, a bunch of Parool articles:

    Two things: the blue in randstad is Hoofddorp, not Dortmund (procedural animation error). Important to also understand that the Omgevingsvisie is a guiding document, not binding. Be prepared for a lot of things to not be realized whatsoever: amsterdam2050.nl

    So, the removal of pavement tiles sounds odd at first but there is a very interesting reason for it. It's called 'Tegelwippen' (Tile overthrowing) each year many municipalities compete against eachother to see which municipalities can create the most green space by removing pavement tiles. The competition is set up to spread awareness about the tendency of Dutch citizens to build a 'low maintenance garden' by paving over the entire green space of the garden. Now, you might think: "so what if some people pave over thier gardens? Who cares?" But the problem with paved surfaces in the Netherlands is that rain water doesn't drain in the soil fast enough because it's blocked by the pavement and the run off from this creates a problem for the sewer system in a country that lies for a large part below sea level. Paved surfaces increase flooding from heavy rain because when the sewer system can't handle the additional run off from the heavy rain the country/street/neighborhood just fills up like a bath tub because the water has nowhere else to go...

Thus you should be paying more than other people who do not. Otherwise you would be socialising bad practices and their cost and those who are not will have to pay the same, which is not fair.

    What an amazing video covering this topic, seeing ambitions like this is very exciting! You (Dutch people) are very lucky to have a government that cares about how to grow cities sustainably. Orlando, my hometown just approved a metro (not subway but metro area) budget where 2/3 goes directly to highways. Miami is even worse off, especially with storm water management. Half the city is underwater for hours after a mild thunderstorm, and the city is one major hurricane away from being catastrophically destroyed, especially when the power goes out for more than a few days and the pumps stop working.

    I don`t really undersand. A Metro is a subway in my understanding and it`s not importand, where it goes. Mybee you know the video of RMTransit and the Vienna video about the U-Bahn`s/Metro/Subway/Underground,.... kzread.info/dash/bejne/nnudr6iGqLbWcc4.html kzread.info As i said. It`s not importand where the system goes, it`s importend what you chosse. For me is it of course possible, that one line goes for the first 3 miles underground, than serves the old cityline what is rebuild for the metro for the next 4 miles overground, which is mostly over ground and short sections on ground level. Than for the next 2 miles underground again and than with an bridge over the danube and after that over ground to the end station. Ahh, i forgot, the first section is also on ground level. ;D Be greative with your lines! You in America are extrem rigid with the idea of lines. Be more relaxed and smoth through the city. :D For cars there also bridges and tunnels, elevated section also. Why should a subway only go under ground? Thats a wast of possibilities!

People with skills not available? Come, but you have to integrate. Refugees? Be extremely selective and deport all others to countries near home. Those who stay, are temporary residents and will have to return once it is deemed safe.

Hopefully, this approach in changing the city should encourage tourists to do away from all the stereotypes that they hold when they visit Amsterdam.

    it's all pretty cool and all, but the biggest problem for Amsterdam is rent and how the housing is built. Trying to build some apartments in Amsterdam is nearly impossible and with increased demand rent is either unattainable or impossibly unattainable. With such a plan, Amsterdam in 20 years will become a suburb for the ultra-rich.

    The issues is more complex then you paint it here. I'm working within the sector of real estate development. In a nutshell: after the financial crisis of 2008, a lot of companies within the real estate development sector went bankrupt. This was not limited to developers, builders but also extends to material providers/producers. The companies that have survived the crisis are more wary of expanding their production capabilities. Investing and expanding their production capacitie could bring then more revenue on the short term, but will increase their risk exposure on the long term. Right now these companies (developers, builders and material providers/producers) are in a very comfortable spot. Their order/production portfolios are fully booked for the next few years and they don't really have an incentive to take on more risks. The slow pace of housing production is the result of several systematic bottlenecks, all which originate from the capitalistic system. With the increase in cost for energy and raw materials, coupled with an already fully booked order book for the next few years. This has led to a volatile increase of production cost for the material providers and in turn they've increased their prices massively. Material producers also are disincentivized to invest in more production capabilities as this will increase their risks exposure. While it is very uncertain that the increase in demand (for building material) will be sustained for the long term. On the other hand we're experiencing massive inflation as a result of geopolitical destabilization. Central banks are trying to combat the inflation by increasing the interest rates, thereby increasing the capital market rate. This in turn leads to an devaluation of real estate, which leads to real estate investors becoming more restrained with investing in new property development projects. In short: parties (developers and builders) are not willing to take on the increase risks and cost the moment. Investor are not willing or able to pay ‘market value’ for new projects. Both from a cost and income perspective real estate development is locked up.

I think that's basics: the harbours, politics, cultural life; think of it, everyone would benefit from it. Apart from the crazy traffic jams, the impossible train hurdles. people don't t think of goin out in the next city. For someone from Amsterdam it's still a tremendous barrier to the theatre in the Hague, to give just one example.. World Trade Center's?, one in Amsterdam, one in Rotterdam? Would have never happened.. with a truly connecting city ring, isn't it?!. What I mean is, the main cities Amsterdam, The Hague, Rotterdam are still so self centered....
