These issues will determine the quality of our living environment and the attractiveness of our economic climate in the coming decades. (Inner city) area development, redevelopment, transformation and densification are instruments that fit the scale of these challenges. Underutilized areas and real estate are revived, so that scarce space can be used more economically (or more efficiently), companies are given new location options, the economic base for facilities is increased, commuter traffic is limited and the need for large-scale out-of-town expansion is at the expense of landscape quality, is reduced. Moreover, integrated area development offers the possibility of realizing a mix of functions, programs and facilities that would be financially-commercially unfeasible in individual project development. A sustainable solution in which we also make the Netherlands more beautiful.
Ingredients for successful development processes
Area, redevelopment and transformation can only be successful if the initiator has the right knowledge, competences, persuasiveness and capital or knows how to organize it around him. Customization is required because the context of development is always place and time dependent. The spatial economy, local, regional and (inter) national market conditions, forecasts, government policy, the distinctive character of the location and the perception, views and interests of stakeholders are important preconditions for success. These differ per function, which makes multifunctional development issues even more complex.
