Housing Europe organised a field trip to the UIA backed project  ‘Superlocal’ in Kerkrade in the Netherlands for a delegation consisting  of MEP, Kim Van Sparrentak and European Commission Officials from DG  Grow and the Executive Agency for Small and Medium-sized Enterprises  (EASME). Participants had the chance to meet the stakeholders that made  this truly innovative, circular social housing project possible. We followed the trip that aimed at offering a taste of how the European Commission flagship initiative, the EU Green Deal looks like in practice. Housing Europe showcasedto EU Institutions’ Delegation how a Dutch social housing company and local authorities are pushing the frontiers of circular economy

Stay with us to hear what were the reactions of quite a diverse group of participants when they arrived at a demolition site that is giving birth to new affordable homes in an area that is trying to revitalise, if not reinvent, itself.
