Dossier: Circular Economy
From 6 to 11 February it's the Week of the Circular Economy. In this collection, openresearch provides an overview of this theme.
'Circular' is a commonly used term. In this collection, openresearch provides an overview of the various ways in which circularity is discussed and contributes to a circular economy. The circular economy refers to an economic system in which the value of products and materials is preserved for as long as possible and waste and the use of resources are kept to a minimum. Resources or products are also kept in the economy at the end of their lifespan, so that they can be reused several times and thus continue to be of value.
In this collection you can read how the City of Amsterdam is implementing the government-wide program 'Nederland Circulair 2050', and which tools (instruments) exist and are used that contribute to this objective. -

Housing
How has the housing market developed in the past two years and how satisfied are Amsterdammers with their living environment?
The increasing attractiveness of Amsterdam and, in particular, the improving economy have major effects on the city. Three years ago, for example, there was a financial crisis that led to a crisis in the construction industry. There was hardly any construction or transformation. However, for a few years now, investors have been queuing up to start building again. More houses have been built in the last two years than in the previous four years combined. More supply helps to meet demand. Despite the major sprint in new construction, house prices in the owner-occupied sector have risen explosively. The average WOZ value in Amsterdam has increased by more than 27% in the last two years alone. For many people, buying a house is no longer an option, despite the historically low interest rates.
Not only in Amsterdam, but throughout the Netherlands, we face major challenges to provide everyone with a sustainable and affordable home. In this collection you will find studies by the city council, Amsterdam knowledge institutes and national organizations about housing. You will also find articles on various themes related to housing such as the housing crisis, equal opportunities, sustainability, office spaces and housing for students, the elderly and the homeless in Amsterdam. -

Democracy in practice
Is it possible to ensure an accessible and humane government for all residents of the city?
And how do we ensure that the future of the city takes shape in consultation with residents?In this collection you will find various parts that show how Amsterdam tries to find answers to these questions. Click on 'more information' for a description of the different parts in this collection.This collection contains the following components:
- Executing democracy:
In this essay, Anouk de Koning (Urban Citizen Fellow at NIAS) uses examples that deal with everyday contacts between youth professionals and parents and children, or area brokers and residents, addressing questions about democratization. It is precisely in such everyday contacts that the relationship between government and citizen takes shape. - Democratization & Area-oriented working: Democratization is one of the keywords in the coalition agreement. The municipality wants, among other things, more say and ownership for residents and a better connection between residents and the municipality. In addition, the coalition agreement mentions neighborhood- and area-based working as crucial for a city the size of Amsterdam. But what exactly is area-based working? In this collection you will find relevant publications on democratization in Amsterdam as well as relevant local and national publications that focus on area-based working and various forms of neighborhood approach. Here you can also find the 'Administrative System Evaluation' which shows how the City of Amsterdam, together with residents, reflects on the newly designed administrative system.
- Civil servants about taking risks in innovation (video session):
From building 'donut coalitions' to advisory councils for migrants; city clerk Peter Teesink speaks together with other important municipal innovators about methodologies for turning moonshots into reality. (Creative Bureaucracy Festival) - What do we need? Stories and publication:
Here you will find the publication 'What do we need?', Which stems from the more than 150 stories that have been collected with the question 'What do you need in the future of Amsterdam?'. In addition to the publication, here you can also view all the stories collected per district .
With these retrieved stories, 'What do we need' inspires in the realization of the Spatial Vision (draft). - Your voice in policy for the future: In this collection you will find both the entire pdf of the draft Spatial Vision document. With the Spatial Vision, the municipality determines what kind of a city Amsterdam wants to be in 2050 and how to work together to achieve this. In the coming weeks everyone can react on this draft (until March 4). In addition, this collection also contains the Environmental Impact Assessment and the open research Spatial Vision collection of the Spatial Vision project team, which outlines the context of the Spatial Vision in the making.
Various quotes from the stories retrieved in 'What do we need?' are included in the vision in the making.

Inequality of opportunity
Each person in Amsterdamer deserves the opportunity to develop himself/herself irrespective of his or her background.
That is one of the main challenges in Amsterdam. In a fair city, everyone has the same opportunities and possibilities, regardless of where you were born, the neighborhood you grew up in and the network around you. People from all income groups, education levels and types of migration background should be able to live, participate, develop and shape their own future in the city.Do you also have research, current projects or material that should be here?

Refugees
Worldwide there are millions of refugees fleeing their homeland. Many of them live in Amsterdam.
The refugee issue shows us that we still have a lot to do to get things done. Despite the constant current events, we are not always prepared for a new flow of refugees. However, many steps have been taken in terms of involvement and responsibility. In the Netherlands, many organizations and research bureaus are active in this matter, such as the UAF for student refugees, the Netherlands Council for Refugees, the Verwey Jonker Institute, the Knowledge Platform for Integration and Society, the Advisory Committee for Immigration Affairs, the Social and Cultural Planning Office and the Refugee Foundation.
In this collection you will find a wide range of relevant research and interesting documents. Here you will also find all the research that has been discussed in the city council of Amsterdam.Do you have research, current projects or material that should be here?

Multilingualism
Everyone speaks or uses a language. This is simply the way we communicate with each other, but what about being multilingual?
Opinions on this vary widely; some people think that multilingualism is an asset while others think it is an obstacle that leads to disadvantages at school. That is why research is highly needed. In this dossier, there are several collections that approach multilingualism from different angles, such as those related to education, communication and the best ways of dealing with multilingualism so far.Do you also have research, current projects or material that should be here?

Slavery and Amsterdam
The city of Amsterdam was involved in the slave trade and slavery from the end of the sixteenth century until the nineteenth century.
As the main seat of the West India Company (WIC) and co-owner of the Suriname Society, Amsterdam was directly involved in the transatlantic slave trade. In addition, countless Amsterdammers were directly or indirectly involved in slavery and slave trade in East and West.
In this collection we dive deeper into the history of Amsterdam's slavery, in particular the disaster of the slave ship Leusden in 1738. Below you will find the original thesis on which the expedition is based. You can also find the AT5 broadcasts on slavery and a collection with links for more information on slavery and the postcolonial history of Amsterdam.
