For the Flemish government, we managed the multi-year and multi-actor transition arena ‘Slim Wonen & Leven’

Pressing societal challenge

• The Flemish government’s 2050 vision for housing consists of “sustainable communities and neighborhoods where everyone wants to and can live”
• Enabling this vision, requires engaging multi-disciplinary challenges over a prolonged period

Astute business approach

• Set-up and co-management of governance and organizational framework in support of the transition
• Identification of 3 spearhead priorities and identification of projects within.
• Articulation of action plans for the projects and actual engagement

Business value & Societal value

Multiple benefits expected, e.g.:

• Better availability and quality of housing
• Application of technological innovations (‘smart cities’)
• Test bed for new forms of living-together
• Development and use of new and more sustainable building materials
• Improved coordinated policy-making among all levels of government
• Better social cohesion in cities
• Adapted urban planning and uptake of ‘smart mobility’ solutions
