Abstract: | In Dutch urban renewal, we observe an implementation gap between dreaming and doing. Dutch national government recently proposed
to focus urban renewal on more than 50 priority areas in the cities and to reduce urban renewal subsidies. It is not very
likely that this policy will accelerate urban renewal. This contribution suggests a different approach: the formulation of
an urban district vision shared by the sustainable stakeholders in those districts. If they can come to an agreement, they
deserve housing association finance and public urban renewal support. By targeting the plans primarily on the social climbers
in the urban districts involved, the city can keep their buying power within the city. Combining physical, social, economic
and safety agendas and adopting a multi-functional orientation would seem to be a successful strategy. |
