Reuse

Andy van den Dobbelsteen

The project is about the transformation of the historical city centre, the ‘Red Light District’ into the ‘Green Light District’: a future proof, sustainable and prosperous area. The project follows a bottom- up approach by activating the community and with numerous co-creation projects.

The City of Amsterdam wants to be free of natural gas use for energy consumption by 2040 and at the same time reduce their CO2 emissions with 95 percent by 2050. This includes the historical city centre. Therefore, work package 1 analyses the potentials for a systemic renewable energy plan, following the New Stepped Strategy (NSS) towards energy and carbon neutrality [Dobbelsteen 2008]:

  1. Research & Reduce
