    Oh god, another reason to move to the Netherlands. I can’t explain the deep longing I feel for such an existence.

    It mentions public transit options too. Hopefully that’ll include trams and/or metro services for very long distance connections.

      It is right on an existing bus line, less than 1km from an existing tram line, and about 2km from Utrecht Centraal.

    Honest questions. In these neighborhoods are lorries permitted to drive certain areas? Are all deliveries by bicycle wagon or similar? How do tradespeople bring tools/equipment. How is building/remodeling handled in areas that have little to no vehicle access and heavy equipment needs to be used?

    I ask because I’ve lived my entire life in car-centric Midwest U.S. I have traveled in Europe but have not lived there, and so the day to day logistics are a mystery to me. Please help me cure my ignorance <3

      I think there will still be streets, but they will mostly be used as pedestrian areas except for when needed by construction vehicles, trash collection etc

      There are several grocery services that operate light electric Goupil G4 “mini lorries” which are basically the perfect vehicle to use there.

      For anything bigger, you need a permit.
