nextcity.nl – platform for nature inclusive and biodiverse cities

Initiated by Mathias Lehner and Maike van Stiphout in 2014 nextcity’s vision offers Quality of Life in the City to all species. Our mission is to develop and share knowledge by research, practice and university teaching. Tools include the symposia and exihibits held at Arcam Amsterdam, the Venice Architecture Biennale, the HNI and the Dutch Design Week. In 2019 the 'First Guide to Nature Inclusive Building' was published.

Nature positive

It’s time to act, for nature but also for our well-being. The Ministry of Agriculture, Nature and Food Quality and the provinces want to turn the tide with the ambition in the document – Nederland natuurpositief, which was presented during the Nature Summit 2019.
