Amsterdam's Bold City Plan Revealed

Amsterdam’s bold new city government is shaking things up with sweeping changes: slashing 2,500 jobs, boosting tourist taxes to 20%, and offering free public transport for teens under 17. Backed by GroenLinks, PvdA, and D66, the coalition aims to slash bureaucracy, reinvest 292 million euros in housing and services, and tackle affordability by cracking down on rent gouging and building thousands of new affordable homes. Parking fees will rise, and 10,000 spots will vanish to make room for shared mobility. This isn’t just about cutting costs—it’s about building a leaner, more responsive city for residents, while other Dutch cities like The Hague and Rotterdam still scramble to finalize their own plans.
