14th of March a group of ULI members joined a sneak peek visit to the Floriade EXPO 2022.

This event was specially organized by the Dutch Product Councils Climate & Circularity to promote ideas for the new program for 2022-2024 and to inspire our members on a tour around the Expo. The event included presentations by the Product Council by Michiel de Bruijne, insights about the Floriade development and an extensive walking tour of the site.

Jan Sjaarda – Project manager area development Floriade by Dura Vermeer – presented to us all the insights of this special project, including the set ambitions of the Municipality Almere, the learnings about the way the nature on this ‘green field’ was carefully respected during the building phase and how the future of this site will look like. Under a blue sky, our ULI members visited the terrain to see all progress, including the ‘only cable car beneath sea-level’ in the world.

At the Floriade Expo 2022 in Almere, visitors can enjoy greenery for six months from April 14 to October 9, 2022. The idea is to discover green solutions from national and international innovators and brainiacs that make our cities more fun, more beautiful and more sustainable.

Floriade only takes place once every 10 years. This year the theme is ‘Growing Green Cities’. Visit now and learn more about developments in the field of greenery, food, health and energy.
