Sustainable Housing Transformation from a European Perspective

Housing is of key importance for societies. It drives the economy and is a key issue for sustainable urban and regional development in growing as well as declining areas.
The energy crisis and energy transition have a huge impact on human behavior relating to energy, housing, and the built environment.
The lectures are professors working at the TU Delft and are all well-known experts in their field. We will visit the to be renovated housing complex in Schiedam on Monday.
In the tender game you, as part of a group, are challenged to design the technical, social, environmental and financial strategies to make sure that the housing complex will be as sustainable as possible, has future value for existing and new residents, and acts as an exemplary role for market diffusion.
