EndLESS Amsterdam provides an in-depth look at the city's commitment to becoming a circular economy by 2050, significantly reducing the use of new raw materials and resources. The exhibition examines the implications of this transition for inhabitants, businesses, and the natural environment, questioning the sustainability of urban growth. It presents the circular city through the lenses of "the beast, the inhabitant, the company, and the administration," utilizing photographs, film, animation, documentation, and models. The exhibition highlights Amsterdam's adoption of Kate Raworth's 'donut model' as a framework for economic development that respects both planetary boundaries and social equity, positioning the city as a global leader in this approach. It connects contemporary circularity goals with historical urban planning concepts like the 'compact city' and the 'Omgevingsvisie Amsterdam 2050,' showcasing various projects and initiatives contributing to a sustainable urban future. Featured are diverse case studies such as the circular airport at Schiphol, the Port of Amsterdam as a resource hub, and specific urban development projects like Strandeiland and Buiksloterham, illustrating practical applications of circular principles in architecture and urban planning.
