The web-manual to improve the flow of the housing market

Welcome on the website of the RUIMTELAB! Go to the manual right away or learn more about the RUIMTELAB and our project.

Why RUIMTELAB?

Currently, the housing market is stuck. The great housing shortage has led to a congestion on the housing market, enormous rental and purchase prices and inadequate housing.

 

To solve this crisis, the municipality puts a strong focus on the construction of new homes, and rightly so. A shortage of housing can only be solved by adding more houses. However, the construction of new homes does not happen overnight, the space reserved for housing is limited, and, most important of all, the climate crisis calls for more innovative solutions. That is why we need to look beyond the (re)build of houses and improve the ‘flow of the housing market’

 

In order to take a first step in realizing a more inclusive housing market with an adequate home for every Dutch resident, we used the Urban Living Lab methodology to look for solutions together with all important stakeholders. After months of hard work, research, co-creation and design we developed a manual to help municipalities improve the flow of their housing market. Interested?
