Living in a forest
Translated from Dutch Wikipedia page about Doorwerth:
In the 1970s, newer parts were built in which an attempt was made to integrate high-rise buildings and residential houses with nature. The urban planner Van Embden made this idea concrete by creating a strict separation between living, recreation and traffic, entirely in accordance with the CIAM concept. Strips of forest have been preserved between the buildings. The streets are also not directly adjacent to the buildings, so that anyone who moves through Doorwerth is constantly walking, cycling or driving through the forest. This gives the residents the feeling of living in the forest. Unlike in an open landscape, it is not noticeable that people live in an area with a lot of human activity.
