SUSTAINABLE & INNOVATIVE
ROTTERDAM.
Sustainability & innovation
Rotterdam and Rotterdammers do not shy away from experiments, we actively look for them. Getting down to business and inno- vating is part of our city’s DNA. Full of energy and with an urge for innovation, Rotterdam reinvented itself after the bombing of the Second World War. We made a clean break with the past, preferring modern architecture: light, air and space. It was a ground-brea- king idea for its time. Rotterdam’s dynamics invite you to discover the city again and again. Rotterdam embraces experiments of all kinds; here we believe nearly everything is possible. New ideas and initiatives will constantly surprise you, from a rooftop city garden to a music festival in the docks; from an exclusive rooftop bar to a brewery in an old warehouse. From trees floating on water to an old swimming pool magically transformed into a laboratory of the future with a focus on reducing waste where you can eat oyster mushrooms cultivated on coffee grounds. Exciting places that also show how Rotterdam is developing into a sustainable city and society by constantly anticipating the future.
