The buurten in wijk Van Galenbuurt
Tree density index per buurt: the real number of registered trees divided by land area, rescaled against the city average. Not measured canopy cover.
Did you know? Architectural Marvel: World-renowned for its Amsterdam School architecture with undulating brickwork. (fact about De Baarsjes)
Our proposal for this neighborhood: This buurt sits at or above the city average: the task is holding on to what is there as it densifies further.
Our own suggestion, not a municipal plan - no source exists for what still ought to be built.
