How municipalities can reduce housing pressure with smart accommodation
The housing market is under pressure, while municipalities also need to provide good housing for international employees. How do you do that without adding extra strain on existing residential neighbourhoods? Frank van Gool and Peter Loef show how smart, large-scale organised accommodation can help reduce housing pressure, improve liveability and give municipalities more control.
During this breakfast session, Peter Loef introduces the Vereniging Huisvesting Internationale Medewerkers (VHIM). With coffee, croissants and jus d’orange, this is a great opportunity to meet and discuss tomorrow’s housing challenge.
