Abstract

Sustainable development is becoming a central policy focus, including in the Netherlands. This research explores and compares the approaches taken in the green policy plans of Groningen and Zwolle and examines how these plans contribute to the sustainable development of their municipalities. A comparative policy analysis was conducted on the municipalities of Zwolle and Groningen based on their "Omgevingsvisie" (Environmental Vision(EV)) and associated documents. The comparison specifically focuses on three themes: green in urban areas, public participation, and environmental justice, which all play a significant role in sustainable development. Results indicate that Zwolle and Groningen each take unique approaches tailored to their specific challenges, with different focal points in their policy frameworks. For instance, the EV of Groningen places much greater emphasis on environmental justice compared to Zwolle. Meanwhile, Zwolle dedicates more attention to the participation process for green developments. Both put sustainable development at the core of their green policies.
