WE CELEBRATE LIVEABILITY IN CITIES!
Founded in 2014, A City Made By People is an international network of 20+ cities and local communities of citizens, who like to celebrate liveability in their own city. Through engaging content (online + print) and local programming (speaker events + activities), we’re on a mission: enabling citizens to create a more liveable city together.

Is Amsterdam Green enough? We see an overload of cyclists, an array of parks, and an overall eco-friendly attitude towards daily life in our city. But as true Amsterdammers, are we going to roll-down our sleeves and say we're "green and done"?
