State of the City: Tomorrow is Now
The city's systems creak and squeak: from the lack of affordable housing and years of waiting lists in the mental health system, to inequality of opportunity in education, poverty and climate change. The younger generations are still not well represented in positions of power, when it is precisely they who feel the consequences of these social problems. How will the current generation of city administrators and leaders become a good ancestor for future Amsterdammers? And how can young people themselves take the lead in addressing these challenges? During this edition of The State of the City, we explore inspiring, creative and decisive action perspectives for the Amsterdam of the future.
