The pressure on housing construction is high. More homes need to be delivered quickly, but at the same time livability, climate adaptation and biodiversity are high on the agenda. How do you ensure that greenery is not an afterthought, but rather part of the solution?
During PROVADA, Albert Jan Kerssen, Manager Impact & Specialisms at idverde NL, talks about this in the podcast ‘Groen versnellen in de bouw’ in conversation with Guido van Winden. He shares his vision on how greenery can help accelerate and improve residential development projects. From climate-resilient living environments to smart integration of nature in urban developments: greenery is increasingly proving to be an important success factor.
