NEW ENVIRONMENTS

Company

Amsterdam, Netherlands

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. Our Team is committed to building strong relationships with clients and partners. We regard every challenge as an opportunity to join forces with our network of independent designers, researchers, and experts.
