Chapter 1-1 describes the development and transformation initiatives in Amstel-Stad. Current water management, soil structure and environmental hygiene are illustrated with maps. Bottlenecks in public space and the ever-increasing demand for energy are explained in Chapters 1-2 and 1-3. Chapter 1-4 describes how bottlenecks occur with increasing frequency, slowing the progress of area development. Climate adaptation, energy transition and circular economy call for a new design method, which is explained in six steps in Chapter 1-5. To achieve a comprehensive overview, the design method is based on themes and performance goals that concern the entire Amstel-Stad area.
