Floriade 2022 Almere, the Netherlands 2012-2022

摘要

In 2022, Almere will host the Floriade, a prestigious world horticultural expo which takes place once every ten years in the Netherlands. Amsterdam's metropolitan area stands at the verge of a large population growth. Within this development the city of Almere will realize the largest new developments with 60,000 new homes. Almere has the ambition to realize urban growth with improved life quality for its citizens. MVRDV is already urban planner for Almere 2030 and the DIY urbanism plan for Almere Oosterwold and now proposes the extension of Almere city center opposite the misting center, transforming the lake into a central lake and connecting the various neighborhoods of the Dutch new town. The Floriade plan foresees an exemplary dense and green city center extension which at the same time is for now very flexible: an invitation to the Floriade organizer NTR to develop the plan further with the city.
