Rijnvliet, Edible Neighborhood breaks new ground in urban planning by using participatory design to co-create a residential neighbourhood around accessible urban agriculture. Residents will do the food forest maintenance under the supervision of a forester. https://landezine.com/rijnvliet-edible-neighborhood-by-felixx/

Using ideas submitted by residents, Rijnvliet is implementing an ecologically resilient 150,000 m2 urban food forest with over 200 species of (edible) flora that doubles up as green infrastructure offering recreational benefits and ecosystem services, including water management, reduction of heat, and cleaning the air. A food forest of this size in the middle of a residential area is unique in Europe.https://landezine.com/rijnvliet-edible-neighborhood-by-felixx/
