GWL Terrein is among Arcam's top 7 green trendsetters!
01.09.2022GWL is The Netherlands' first "ecological neighbourhood”, the former water treatment plant of Amsterdam transformed into an environmentally friendly neighbourhood. The project starting back in 1993, still receives high appreciation from its residents, proving itself to be a child-friendly and car-free neighbourhood where it is pleasant to live in. The site presents itself as a single, large-scale urban element in its surroundings, but is at the same time an accessible open zone with residential blocks amid (edible) greenery.
