Emma’s Hof, The Hague, The Netherlands
Emma's Hof is an urban infill project that was a grass roots effort of the residents to buy and demolish an abandoned building to provide open space for the other dwellings and residents living in the buildings nearby.
The project has become a social connection garden and open play space for the residents and a real way to visit and connect for people of all ages. Just as locals bought and demolished the building, they also manage the upkeep and programing of the garden. It is a beautiful and successful example of people working together to create a true amenity for the residents and improves their lives. People of all ages learn about the processes of gardening.
