Transition starts with people: self-organising communities ADM and Golf Residence Dronten

In this chapter we explore the transition of societal organisation from heavy reliance on the
state towards self-organisation by citizens in communities. We explore how this transition
manifests itself by analysing two cases of self-organising communities in the Netherlands.
The case studies of the ADM squatter community in Amsterdam and Golf Residence in
Dronten show how these communities of self-organising citizens created their own residential arrangements and took the initiative in developing a unique spatial environment. By looking closely at these two forms of self-organising communities, we can enhance our knowledge about transitions and public management.
