About being car dependant, yes and no.
No because shops and services are within walking or biking distance. There are a lot walking paths that are not visible on Google maps. This is because they’re on the actual properties and therefore not paved. The city requires residents to keep and maintain these paths as part of the purchase agreement when they purchased the land. This requirement transfers to new owners upon sale.
Yes, because contrary to elsewhere in the country there are no dedicated bike lanes on the actual roads inside the neighborhood, nor are there sidewalks. Driving is limited to 15/30 km/h almost everywhere though.
There is a bus line going to and from the city every 30 minutes. I assume the amount of lines and stops will increase as the neighbourhood grows, it is still very much a work in progress.
Im having trouble finding the waking path you spoke about. Mind linking it for me on maps?
Is this the parking lot you were talking about? If so that looks to be a parking space for the employees of this project. The link is in Dutch but Google translate should work fine for Dutch > Swedish.
Digging around some more on streetview and Google maps it looks like the concrete path is actually a bike lane through the future park/green area being created there. It looks like the walking paths are gravel (based on a picture from streetview)
Pretty sure those things you mentioned would be fine. My parents have a small vegetable garden for their own use and the rest of the 50% requirement are berry bushes and fruit trees.
It’s not a harsh requirement that 50% needs to be crops or produce. Just any kind of food producing plant / tree will do.
It’s a suburb of Almere, not Amsterdam.
You do have a good point though. My parents live in that neighborhood and while their plot and the plots of their immediate neighbours are well maintained, there is a lot of people that take the “do what you want” attitude to just let their plot grow (semi-)wild. Which is a shame.
There are however plenty of walking paths built into the design of the neighbourhood, they snake between the houses and are officially part of the plots but required by the city to keep accessible.
Some of our neighbours have received help with food from somewhere before, and it was all stuff that had reached its “best before” (parasta ennen) date. So I’m not sure if they somehow got around the liability thing.
Imo the best before date is mostly bullshit anyway, its a date until which the food’s quality is guaranteed by the manufacturer, but will still be edible for a while after the date has passed. It is in my opinion absolute insanity that this food is thrown away, it should be possible for food that has just passed this date to be donated to the needy.
