Do chances appear in Boschveld 's-Hertogenbosch to have WorkLiving space(s) developed by the participants in cooperation with professionals and transforming the existing urban environment into usersfriendly environments? The expressed thoughts could be shaped into a pilotproject in a popular area; the city Den Bosch could use this as a valuable presentation card.
A row of workshops were organised by City Change Center (doesn't exist anymore) (Dutch)/Bureau Croonen. Bureau Croonen left the proces. People interested in cooperating in creative/new approaches on Working&Living can express this at the following addresses (Dutch based): project1@leidihaaijer.nl, het CCC ~ Boschveld is een Werkwoord, Bewust Wonen Werken Boschveld (BWWB)
More information & inspiration can be found here: Workshop 1a & 1b @ VibaExpo Den Bosch Workshop 2 @ VibaExpo Den Bosch Presentation proposal of actions (Dutch)
The maquette shows where such
a project could be located.
Further details has to be worked out of course.
The centre of 's-Hertogenbosch is located left side under,
the Zuid-Willemscanal appears North-East of the building area.
The ZGZ-area as it looks right now at Google-maps, before
the breakdown will start.
Of course different city areas could be suggested, but as 's-Hertogenbosch is my hometown at the moment I am quite well aware of local plans and developments compared to other cityareas.
Not only within the citybounderies WorkLivingspaces might be developed, also the countryside presents possibilities. Holland has space enough. It is mainly traditional rules preventing individual initiatives. Noord-Brabant is an example of this.
