Citymaker is the calculation tool that helps you get a grip on the increasingly complex puzzle of area development.
Area development touches on many interests and disciplines; housing, transport, green spaces, energy, policy, governance and stakeholder engagement. Each comes with its own language, dynamics and requirements. As a result, misunderstandings arise and projects stall before they even get started.
Citymaker has been developed to connect these different ‘languages’. This tool makes clear how ambitions, requirements and consequences relate to one another, and presents this in a way that everyone can understand.
During this session, we launch the updated Citymaker.

Not a man of one company, but a man of movements. His strength? Not shouting from the sidelines, but starting new companies himself that set the market in motion and challenge existing systems. 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.'

For three days, the real estate sector stood shoulder to shoulder at RAI Amsterdam. With a record number of visitors, a packed programme and plenty of energy, PROVADA 2026 was an edition to remember. Below, we look back at the highlights — and at the end you'll find the photos and aftermovie to relive it all.

At PROVADA 2026, the PROVADA Inspiration Award 2026 was presented to Michel Baars. The award is presented annually to an individual who realises sustainable change within the built environment through vision, courage and decisiveness. This year's presentation marks the award's fifth edition.
