We willen snel en dicht bouwen, maar óókkwaliteit van leven leveren.
Verdichten is noodzakelijk, maar leefbaarheidstaat onder druk. Minder ruimte, meer stenen, hitte‑stress, geluid enstapelende ruimtelijke claims maken het steeds lastiger om een gezonde,prettige leefomgeving te realiseren. Juist nu, in lijn met de NOVI‑ambitievoor sterke en gezonde steden, is het tijd om welzijn niet als bijvangst tebehandelen, maar als een randvoorwaarde in ontwikkeling en besluitvorming.
In deze panelsessie gaan projectleiders, stedenbouwkundigen, ontwikkelaars en strategen met elkaar in gesprek hoe je leefbaarheid vroeg borgt, meetbaar maakt en bestuurlijk organiseert.
Verwacht concrete voorbeelden en inspirerende oplossingen. Laat je motiveren om – met elkaar, voor elkaar – de stad leefbaarte maken voor iedereen.

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.

On Tuesday 9 June at 10:00 AM, PROVADA will be officially opened by Lieutenant General Dick van Ingen, Deputy Director-General of Policy at the Ministry of Defence. Through his contribution, PROVADA underlines the current and growing intersections between Defence and the real estate sector.
During PROVADA, BouwLab R&Do and The Green Village will be providing the content programming for the Innovation Café. In collaboration with partners BPD, COD and VORM, and the Ministry of Housing and Spatial Planning, the Ministry of Infrastructure and Water Management, and the DMI Ecosystem, one central question takes the lead: how do we move innovation faster from idea to application?
The fiscal threshold for foreign pension funds and insurers to invest in the Dutch housing market must be significantly lowered. That is the view of Mark Siezen, CEO of asset manager Bouwinvest. 'Foreign capital is absolutely essential to meet the enormous housing construction challenge. That requires a stable housing policy and fiscal climate. I am hopeful: the new minister recognises this and will act on it.'
