  • To celebrate Amsterdam’s 750th anniversary, @thegreenmileamsterdam has given the city a remarkable gift: the EcoWal. This green quay wall, located along the Singelgracht, transforms existing infrastructure into a living ecosystem. Inspired by a successful project in Utrecht, the EcoWal shows how cities can adapt to nature instead of working against it. It supports biodiversity, cleans the water, and creates new habitats for plants and animals both above and below the surface.
