This is an announcement for the paper "Approximation properties and Schauder decompositions in Lipschitz-free spaces" by Gilles Lancien and Eva Pernecka. Abstract: We prove that the Lipschitz-free space over a doubling metric space has the bounded approximation property. We also show that the Lipschitz-free spaces over $\ell_1^N$ or $\ell_1$ have monotone finite-dimensional Schauder decompositions.
