RIJNVLIET WINS DEEZEN AWARD!! – We’re thrilled to share that Rijnvliet has won a Dezeen Award in the Landscape and Urban Design category 🎉🎉

Rijnvliet transforms a typical development into an edible, climate-resilient neighborhood that integrates nature into daily life. Demonstrating that edible neighborhoods are both achievable and scalable. And the good news is the food forest principle can be applied in new developments as well as existing districts with the right expertise. By using Nature-Based Solutions you can make space for ecological processes and align human needs with naturals systems which allows species to reinforce one another. And above all, by actively listening to residents throughout the process, neighbourhoods can truly reflect local needs, foster a sense of ownership, and remain resilient over time. Rijnvliet proves that a nature-inclusive, community-driven approach benefits everyone.

A huge thank you to the Rijnvliet team, the judges, and congratulations to all fellow winners!

Rijnvliet was commissioned by the Municipality of Utrecht. The urban plan was designed by de Zwarte Hond, the layout of the landscape as edible neighborhood was designed and elaborated by Felixx Landscape Architects & Planners together with Æ Food Forestry Development in co-creation with its residents.

SERIOUS GAME IN DRENTHE - Building on the success and valuable insights from Stockholm World Water Week 2024, we were recently in Drenthe to lead a session of a new serious game. This experience further underscored the importance of actively engaging all stakeholders in the transformation of our cities, particularly when implementing nature-based solutions (NBS).

During this session, we facilitated a role-playing exercise where participants had the chance to step into each other’s roles (Local Entrepreneur, Traffic engineer and more). Together, we delved into the Zeeheldenbuurt (Hoogeveen) case study, discussing ways to enhance the area and apply innovative strategies for building greater resilience.

It was a powerful opportunity for collective reflection, the exchange of ideas, and the development of a shared vision for the future of our cities. As we’ve learned, real change happens when we collaborate. If you’re interested in exploring how we can work together to create more climate-resilient cities, we’d be happy to connect.

We thank Natuur Milieufederatie Drenthe en Provincie Drenthe for the invitation to the Symposium ‘Samen werken aan Natuurinclusief Drenthe’, which was made possible by: Het Drents Landschap, Landschapsbeheer Drenthe, IVN Natuureducatie, Natuurmonumenten en Staatsbosbeheer. Thanks for the beautiful case to Gemeente Hoogeveen
