It’s been quiet for a while, but we have a new newsletter. The silence wasn’t due to a lack of work, but rather to busyness and confidential assignments. But now we have a few important developments, projects, and assignments that we’re willing and able to share.
To start, we organized another successful Green Christmas Lecture on December 18th, together with our partners and the Royal Ginkel Group and Geldersch Landschap en Kasteelen. The theme was green heritage, and the lectures covered several surprising angles on estate management, urban green heritage, and the financial valuation of heritage. The attached link gives an impression of the afternoon.
But more importantly, we conducted a study for the VHG (Association of Dutch Landscapers) on the social and economic benefits of the Green City, culminating in the book “Green on the Balance Sheet.” This groundbreaking study has surprising results regarding the positive effects of urban green spaces on labor productivity, the health of our youth, and the value of real estate. The first copy of the book will be presented to Minister Hermans on January 22nd. Tom Bade will also give lectures at several events, including the Green Trade Fair (January 15th) and the National Congress on Public Space Management on March 24th in Delft.
It’s going to be a great year, and a memorable one too, because Triple E will celebrate its 20th anniversary in September 2026.
