The area of Amstel III will drastically change by 2040 into a lively urban district. This change allows for the rethinking of the urban metabolism of the area, to shorten the material cycles and by better utilization of resources. Through estimation and calculations on potential flows related to energy, water, and organic material the potential impact of urban farming is given with a plausible configuration for the 2040 scenario. Organic waste flows are significant enough to provide the necessary nutrition for about 4250 tonnes of food yearly, which is a large portion of the diet consumed in Amstel III. To enable this food production urban farms of 70 ha of arable land and 80 ha of CEA need to be integrated into the urban plan, and additional engines such as a local biodigester, CHP and simple WWTP are necessary. Furthermore, there is much potential in the harnessing of solar, wind and thermal energy in the district, potentially making the district for nearly 75% independent on energy. The impact of the proposed configuration of the metabolism could save valuable depletable mineralized fertilizers, for example about 12 tonnes of phosphorus and 29 tonnes of nitrogen can be recovered each year in the form of digestate, as well can 15000 tonnes of carbon dioxide be captured from the organic waste to be utilized for food production in CEA.
