VIV’AMSTEL 3, Revitalised Business Park

Where | Amstel, Amsterdam, the Netherlands
With | COLOKi + Esther de Graaf (Plein06) + Dennis Hauer (NL Ingenieurs) + Anna Vlaming

Phil Stubbs, media educator, initiated Clovelly Road Better Block, 4th in the country, 1st in Sydney and made it work thanks to Facebook. The purpose was to transform for a day the shopping strip of Clovelly Road and make it greener, safer and human – by slowing traffic and adding trees, tables, chairs, art, music, food and more life in general. It has been a great success as about 3000 people – both from the local community and civic leaders – attended the event.
