The Almere Principles

The future growth of Almere, a young city in the Netherlands, is to be guided by ecological and sustainable themes. The Almere Principles summarize what this precisely entails and is the result of close collaboration between the Municipality of Almere and William McDonough – one of the guiding figures behind the ‘cradle-to-cradle’ philosophy. This concise book explains the principles and places them in historic context through maps, plans and a collection of short essays.
