In government
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
