New economic models

Between 2023 and 2025, the Amsterdam Economic Board worked with partners to explore, apply and upscale new economic models, such as post-growth, donut economics and broad prosperity. These models work towards a just and regenerative economy.

The goal of this exploration was: to put new economic models into practice and embed them in urban systems and policies, while considering social justice, ecological limits and local capacity.
