The selection committee praised the Spoorpark as a fine park and a successful example of real citizen participation in the Yearbook for Landscape Architecture and Urban Design in the Netherlands 2019. The selection committee feels that the minimalistic design is reminiscent of Berlin. 'It has an purposefully unfinished look: anything that grows there is just fine'. 

During the IFLA World Congress 2019 in Oslo we contributed with a lecture about making railway stations greener. On the agenda are urban transformation, green mobility, healthy and beautiful landscapes and social participation. Very inspiring!
