Edible neighborhoods are not the future
They are already here
Now we just need to transform all neihgborhoods
Starting in your street :)
Rijnvliet in Utrecht became the first edible neighbourhood of the Netherlands.
A place where streets grow pears.
Where a central food forest of fifteen thousand square meters produces apples, persimmons and berries.
Where children learn under the trees instead of between concrete walls.
Where residents walk on a canopy path to pick nuts and fruits from mature crowns.
Where every plant has a purpose for people, insects or soil life.
This is what happens when a city stops decorating and starts producing.
• Every street contains edible trees and shrubs
• Seven layers of vegetation support biodiversity and cooling
• A digital tree map shows what to harvest and when
• A food forest teacher gives nature lessons
• Residents co-manage the ecosystem with the city
• Workshops, harvest days and wild foraging walks build community
Most people talk about climate resilience but this neighbourhood built it
If every urban expansion in Europe followed this model, we would create millions of square meters of climate-proof landscapes within a decade.
Imagine your city built like this and that your street starts feeding you.
The masterplan was created by De Zwarte Hond, Felixx Landscape Architects & Planners designed it together with Xavier San Giorgi
