The centre will be clearly defined by a ‘green ribbon’ of proud trees. A large extension of shops, leisure, horeca, offices and houses will make the central area into a lively city centre. Lelystad was build in the late 1960’s and inherited the ideals of modernist urban planning. The project will go hand in hand with the redesign of the public space.

ADEPT Architects Rietveld Landscape - Trusted Subcultures N A P - Trusted Subcultures 'New Amsterdam Park (N A P) - Trusted Subcultures' is a cross-disciplinary research project initiated by RAAAF. It investigates the way in which philosophy, cognitive science and architectural design can jointly contribute to the city’s social fabric and a well-functioning public domain. It is funded by The Netherlands Organisation for Scientific Research (NWO) in the form of a “Veni” grant awarded to Erik Rietveld (Harvard University). The project addresses several questions vital for a better understanding of our everyday living environment: A lot of our governments’ funds go towards the improvement of social cohesion, but what is “social cohesion” in the first place? The design takes an innovative and optimistic concept of the stranger as its starting point. The environmental possibilities for action enjoyed by others will sometimes be experienced as worth realizing oneself.
