The buurten in wijk De Aker
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? Dug Away for Peat: The polder was cut away for peat between 1876 and 1896; until the 1980s it was mostly market gardens.
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.
