INTEGRATED URBAN DEVELOPMENT & DESIGN
GoDutch Consortium
THE BIG PICTURE
In the 21st Century cities will be ground
zero for understanding and shaping
humanity’s economic, social, environmental,
cultural, and spiritual challenge to “bend the
curve” and cooperate on an implicit global
strategic imperative to realize a sustainable
way of life. “City States” or the state of
cities are the linchpin to our planetary
sustainability, social cohesion, prosperity,
and freedoms - our survival depends on it.
Integrated sustainable urban development
and design essentially enables us to do
more with less to sustain the whole of life.
When coupled with innovative integrated
financing and investment approaches, cities
hold the promise of becoming the thriving
sustainability frontiers, laboratories, and
solutions factories of the world.
Sustainability, cities, finance, development,
and design are the interdependent
evolutionary drivers of a world transformed.

GODUTCH WITH US
Our mission is the identification,
sustainable development, design, and
co-financing of highly innovative urban
(re)development projects and initiatives
dedicated to growing of community
assets - a quintuple bottom line of not
only economic, but also social,
environmental, cultural, and spiritual
capital.
Our vision is that of a world populated
with thriving urban communities living
sustainable ways of life enabled by the
social and technological innovations that
permit humanity to prosper, evolve, and
live well within the limits of one planet.
“GoDutch” stands for sharing the bill, but
in the sense of taking collective
responsibility for individual performance,
adding value by creating a whole that is
greater than the sum of its parts, and the
sharing of both common sense and
sensing an emerging future. GDC’s
values embrace integrity, trust, passion,
collaboration, community, respect, and
dignity.
