NEW ENVIRONMENTS

NEW ENVIRONMENTS is an urban design agency from Amsterdam. We use design to improve wellbeing by shaping a dynamic relationship between humans and the environment. Climate change, population growth, and globalisation are compromising the finite resources that the planet provides. New environments need to cater for a growing number of services and navigate the needs of human, floral, and faunal stakeholders. The agency embraces this complexity and promotes a new systemic integrality in the planning profession. We design symbiotic environments, curate transformative processes, and develop realisable futures. Our expertise include long-term visions for territorial transformation, integrated urban-landscape plans and designs, climate strategy and roadmaps, participatory processes led by powerful spatial narratives. With our work we foster a collaborative environment that integrates research, academia, and design practice.
