With Niek Hendriks from Gemeente Alkmaar and Digitale Tweeling Nederland and Frank Del Gatto from NL Greenlabel, we discuss how policy teams make their policy measurable, monitor it, and translate it into concrete actions and reporting to the council. Using the case in Alkmaar, we show how municipalities can directly connect with Digitale Tweeling Nederland, the Nationaal Dashboard Toekomstbestendige Leefomgeving and the Register Duurzame Leefomgeving to use accurate data to measure, simulate, report and monitor areas — without high costs or complex implementation programmes.

That's how the jury of the PROVADA Inspiration Award 2026 describes winner Michel Baars. 'Michel gives direction to our entire construction and real estate sector.'
