Floating villages: the Dutch news

Have you ever thought you could live in a real floating village? Well know that if this is your dream, there is a city that gives you all the credentials to make it happen! The project in question aims to create the most eco-friendly floating district in all of Europe. Let's say that in a period like the one we are experiencing, good news like this deserves our attention. So, if you are ready, let's explore this topic together! Let's dive in, staying 'afloat' in the floating district!
Let's start by defining the reference area. The place where the village will be created is the city of Amsterdam! For those who have been lucky enough to be able to live there or visit it, they know what we are talking about. Amsterdam is undoubtedly a unique reality of its kind.

Extreme but in moderation, innovative and full of art. Unsurprisingly, a similar initiative has been adopted by this metropolis. For the first time we can talk about a project in line with one of the typical elements of smart cities that is often not taken into consideration. That of Smart People. This term refers to citizens who receive an education in technology.

And above all that they actively participate in the innovation processes of the city. The urban prototype was born precisely from the synergy of its creators with the needs expressed by citizens. Already 26 of the 45 houses included in the project have been inaugurated, enjoying great success. But where is the innovative element? First of all, we identify the possibility, by the individual user, to customize their houseboat, thanks to a real catalog of models. The second is to make each home self-sufficient and capable of selling the excess energy generated, or exchanging it for additional services.

In short, an all-Dutch model of eco-friendly homes that can become the vademecum for a cleaner, more technological and citizen-friendly world. But it is certainly not the first time for Holland to face the challenges of real estate. A model similar to the one proposed was developed by the same study in 2011. In this emerges a strong cultural propensity for ecological renewal. The perfect balance, therefore, between technology and protection of the surrounding environment. A difficult combination to achieve.

But without a doubt a winner. It is actually avant-garde like Amsterdam but above all for those places that deal with invasive and pervasive pollution. In a critical period such as the one we are experiencing, once again, the need to protect the environment but also to involve individuals in all the processes of creation and design of the cities of the future emerges. Hoping that Amsterdam does not remain an isolated case, we invite you to follow our portal every day. You will always find lots of news like this on current real estate trends. But also how this sector is evolving by virtue of the health emergency which, unfortunately, is putting us to the test. So, are you ready to float in the sea of news signed by Realigro?
