Developers, construction companies, lobby groups, housing corporations and tenants associations have formed a massive alliance to tackle the housing shortage in the Netherlands.
In total, 34 organisations have joined forces and say that one million new homes need to be built in the the Netherlands in the next 10 years to meet demand. At the same time, they say, measures are needed to improve neighbourhoods and make the Netherlands’ housing stock more energy efficient.
The organisations hope their plans will form the backbone of the next government’s strategy on housing. ‘Far too many people in the Netherlands are waiting for a home,’ said Martin van Rijn, chairman of housing corporation lobby group Aedes.
