Bouwland - Urgenda


At SHARE 2009 foundation Bouwland in cooperation with Urgenda will present a series of concepts how to make the bigger region of Schiphol sustainable. In the region housing, greenhouses and industrial buildings expanded rapidly in the last decades. The growth of Schiphol gave this area a big economical boost. As quality of life is diminution and the economical crisis slowed down the boost it is time to rethink and replan this area’s economy in a sustainable long lasting gain. LapLab was asked to create this new vision with local and national experts. The presentation will be on the 30th of March at the expo of the Haarlemmermeer.
