Starting summer 2018 household garbage and company waste from busy inner city will be removed via the Amsterdam canals, directly to the waste incineration. In recent years, experiments have been done with collecting waste through the Amsterdam canals.
The last two years, Amsterdam Smart City and the University of Applied Sciences systematically analysed 12 smart city projects in Amsterdam including city logistics. In close cooperation with Amsterdam Smart City five researchers started a thorough evaluation of projects to draw lessons and make future smart city projects more effective.
