GOALS AND AMBITIONS To tackle the problems we found in the analysis, we created a vision for the region of South Holland. In 2050 we foresee South Holland as a region that consists of a synergetic urban network, where knowledge is fairly distributed and supports the transition towards a circular construction and demolition cycle, providing balanced and inclusive urban environments.
To achieve this vision, we formulated ambitions under four categories. All categories are interdependent on each other and works synergeticallly. These goals can be evaluated after the proposed interventions to find out if the project was successful. Our strategy is to achieve this by introducing a network of regional living labs, circulabs. Circulabs are plug-in developments to the existing urban structures. They exist by connecting 4 important sectors of circularity.
- KNOWLEDGE ECONOMY - CONSTRUCTION LANDSCAPES - AGRICULTURAL POTENTIALS - NEW URBANISATION MODELS The strong knowledge economy of the region, he large and transitioning construction industry and the agricultural landscapes of South Holland. They are a place for experimentation and reinvention across all four sectors, making them the hubs of new socio-economic organisation.
