In this episode of the CrAFt video series, we explore how the city of Amsterdam is pioneering new approaches to climate-neutral urban living. As one of three Sandbox Cities in the European CrAFt project, Amsterdam is at the forefront of testing innovative models of collaborative governance, creativity, and co-creation.

Through a blend of policy, civil society engagement, and cultural expression, the city is reimagining what sustainable development can look like—not only environmentally sound, but also inclusive and beautiful.

The video takes us inside a number of pilot projects—from reclaimed cultural spaces to collaborative neighbourhood initiatives—offering a glimpse into how local communities, artists, designers, and city officials are working together to shape the city of tomorrow.

If you’re interested in how creativity, culture, and citizen participation can drive real climate action, this film is a compelling watch.
