The tour, guided by Theo Baart and Tijs van den Boomen, aims to shed light on the complex issues surrounding the runway, which was initially intended to balance growth with reduced nuisance but instead led to increased complaints. The journey covers diverse landscapes including an old church near Haarlem, the OerIJ, green spaces, distribution centers, and plans for solar parks, all while considering the impact of noise contours on spatial planning. Following the tour, an interactive session is held with participants to discuss the area's potential for nature inclusivity, sustainability, and new work forms, drawing on ARCAM's previous research into the Amsterdam Scheggen and Schiphol's regional integration.
