Rotterdam is changing. The city is always on the move, and that is something you can see, hear and feel – also when it comes to sustainability. Although we still have a long way to go, ‘the sustainable city’ is bursting with more activity than ever before. As well as all kinds of climate-adaptive measures – ranging from green roofs and water squares for harvesting rainwater during heavy showers to alternative energy sources and sustainability-enhanced houses – Rotterdam also stimulates mindful, local and Corporate Social Responsibility entrepreneurship. As a resident or visitor you are bound to spot the results, as well as experiencing them every day, because the city makes sure everyone is engaged in this transition. We tackle the challenges together and we also enjoy the benefits together. Everybody – including every sub-culture and kitchen – can pull their weight in enhancing the sustainability of the city. Put on your mindful glasses and spot the sites and initiatives that underpin the mission aimed at sustainability and health all around you.
