- Abstract
-
In the Netherlands, a country known throughout the world
for its innovative approaches to meeting the needs of its citizens,
several examples of innovative experiments with sustainable
housing can be found. The Kersentuin (Cherry Garden), an environmentally,
socially and economically friendly community in
Leidsche Rijn, an urbanization-from-scratch area in the west part
of Utrecht, has been founded and developed by the residents
themselves. The area is very popular and is seen as an interesting
best practice in ideal green neighborhood developments. This
paper evaluates this attempt to create a sustainable neighborhood. - Link
